🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 12 sheets lasagna noodles (no-boil)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 48 ounces marinara sauce
• 16 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, Italian sausage, and onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan.

3. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.

4. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

5. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of the meat sauce evenly across the bottom.

6. Place 4 no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, overlapping slightly if needed.

7. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce.

8. Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, meat sauce) two more times, ending with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining meat sauce and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

9. Cover the lasagna tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese layer.

10. Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

11. Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
