Ingredients

• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Italian sausage
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 800 grams Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Milk
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Step 5

Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

To prepare the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the nutmeg and season with a pinch of salt to taste. Remove from heat.

Step 10

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the chopped parsley, and 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 12

Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce.

Step 13

Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce, then a layer of béchamel, and finally a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.

Step 14

Repeat layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of béchamel topped with mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Step 15

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 16

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 17

Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.

Step 18

Serve warm and enjoy!
