Superbowl Lasagna Recipe

Lasagna Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Meat

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

2. 2

   Add the Meats

   Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Sauce

   Stir in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Noodles

   While the sauce simmers, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

5. 5

   Mix the Cheese Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

6. 6

   Assemble the Lasagna

   Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella cheese, and a third of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers, finishing with noodles, remaining sauce, and mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.

7. 7

   Bake

   Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

8. 8

   Let it Rest

   Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
