Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade portion Pizza dough
- 250 grams Ground beef
- 250 grams Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 400 grams Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 200 grams Ricotta cheese
- 50 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
- 200 grams, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Dollop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture evenly over the surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Slice and enjoy your Lasagna Pizza!
