Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 1 medium, chopped yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 cups marinara sauce
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay the noodles flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in the marinara sauce, dried oregano, and dried basil. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce, and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella over the top.
Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of meat sauce and the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and enjoy your Miracle Lasagna!
