Method
Pasta Preparation
Cook Lasagna Noodles
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meat Sauce Preparation
Cook Meat and Vegetables
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Create Sauce
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cheese Mixture Preparation
Mix Cheese Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
Assembling the Lasagna
Layer Ingredients
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Layer 4 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the mozzarella cheese, and a third of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining meat sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
Pre-Bake Steps
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours if preparing ahead.
Baking
Bake the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the foil from the baking dish and bake the lasagna for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Cool and Serve
Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
