Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound Ground beef or Italian sausage
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 15 ounces Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, goat cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Mix until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the noodles, then top with 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat sauce.
Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure it does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
