Method

Prepare the Meat Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Cheese Mixture

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well until smooth.

Assemble the Lasagne

    Layer Ingredients

    Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom. Place 3 lasagne sheets over the sauce. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the sheets, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with meat sauce on top.

  2. 5

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top of the lasagne. Drizzle with olive oil.

    Bake
