Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Gluten-free lasagna noodles
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 24 ounces Tomato sauce
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 15 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the gluten-free lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a spatula, about 7-8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes. Add oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, half of the Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a small amount of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Place a layer of 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 once more.
For the final layer, add the remaining noodles, the rest of the meat sauce, and top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil (avoiding touching the cheese) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it set and make for easier serving.
