Method

Preparation of Meat Sauce

1

Cook the Meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula.

2

Add Aromatics

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

3

Prepare Sauce

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preparation of Cheese Mixture

4

Mix Cheese Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Stir until well blended and set aside.

Assembly

Layer the Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, then spread a layer of the cheese mixture, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with meat sauce on top.

6

Add Mozzarella

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer of meat sauce.

Baking

Cover and Bake

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
