Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and Italian sausage until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange three cooked noodles over the sauce, spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, and top with one-third of the meat sauce.
- Repeat the layers with three noodles, remaining cheese mixture, and one-third of the meat sauce. Finish with the remaining three noodles and meat sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Let the lasagna rest before cutting; this helps maintain distinct layers when serving.
