Method

Bolognese Sauce Preparation

Cook the Meats

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage and ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking apart the meat with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.

Add Vegetables

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped celery to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Add Liquids and Seasonings

Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the Pomodorina sauce, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Stir well and let it simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

Cheese Mixture Preparation

Mix the Cheese

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

Lasagna Assembly

Layer the Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of Bolognese sauce on the bottom. Place 3 sheets of lasagna noodles on top, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers: Bolognese sauce, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, and another third of mozzarella.

Final Layer

Top with the remaining Bolognese sauce and the last third of the mozzarella cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Bake the Lasagna

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 brown.

Rest and Serve

Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
