Ingredients for Bolognese Lasagna

Method

Directions for Bolognese Lasagna

  1. 1

    Prepare Bolognese Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and sauté until softened.

  2. 2

    Add ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

  3. 3

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Make Garlic Cream Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat, then add minced garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare Ricotta Mixture

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the chopped basil. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Assemble Lasagna

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of Bolognese sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  7. 7

    Layer noodles, ricotta mixture, Bolognese sauce, garlic cream sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

  8. 8

    Bake

    Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with remaining fresh basil and serve hot.
