Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 6 ounces Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 15 ounces Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, ground Italian sausage, and diced onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until well combined.
Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Layer with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with 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 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
