Pasta

Meat Sauce

Cheese Mixture

Method

Preparation of Meat Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Meats

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, for about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cheese Mixture Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Cheese Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined and smooth. Set aside.

Assemble the Lasagna

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Add a layer of meat sauce, followed by 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers: noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining meat sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake the Lasagna

  1. 8

    Cover and Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  2. 9

    Uncover and Brown

    Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  3. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
