Lasagna Ingredients
Method
Lasagna Preparation
Prepare the Bolognese Sauce
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent. Add ground beef, cooking until browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Cook the Lasagna Noodles
While the sauce simmers, cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Mix the Ricotta Cheese
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the Lasagna
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of bolognese sauce on the bottom. Layer 4 lasagna noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, and one-third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with noodles and remaining bolognese sauce. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Bake the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
