Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red wine
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside. Lay the noodles flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Mix in the tomato paste, cooking for 2 minutes to deepen its flavor. Add the crushed tomatoes, red wine, sugar, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano. Stir well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Stir until smooth and well-incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place three cooked lasagna noodles on top to form the first layer.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella. Top with 1/3 of the meat sauce.
Repeat the layer construction process two more times, finishing with the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the lasagna tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm!
