Lasagna Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Cook the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Stir in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Ricotta Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth.

Cook the Lasagna Noodles

Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella cheese, and a third of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles topped with the remaining meat sauce and the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Bake
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
