Lasagna Recipe

Lasagna Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sausage

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the Graziano sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Mix the Ricotta Filling

   In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, half of the Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil. Mix well until fully combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. 4

   Assemble the Lasagna

   Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the sausage, and a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of noodles, marinara sauce, and topped with shredded mozzarella and remaining Parmesan cheese.

5. 5

   Bake the Lasagna

   Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. 6

   Let it Rest

   Once baked, let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
