Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bolognese Sauce

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Lasagna

    Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). In a baking dish, spread a layer of Bolognese sauce, followed by a layer of noodles, then a layer of the ricotta mixture, and a layer of mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with Bolognese sauce and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

  7. 7
