Lasagna Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Lasagna Noodles

    Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Lasagna

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Place a layer of noodles over the sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, and then a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with meat sauce and a topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake the Lasagna

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
