Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 lb Ground Italian sausage
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 28 oz Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 6 oz Tomato paste
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 1.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 15 oz Ricotta cheese
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 12 Regular lasagna noodles (uncooked)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.

Step 3

Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add ground beef and ground Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 5

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and grated Parmesan. Stir until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 7

Spread about 1 cup of the meat sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Layer 4 uncooked lasagna noodles on top of the meat sauce, slightly overlapping them.

Step 9

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 10

Add another layer of meat sauce, followed by another 4 uncooked lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Repeat for the third and final layer: meat sauce, remaining 4 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 12

Top the final layer with any remaining meat sauce and the last cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 13

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to bubble and turn golden brown.

Step 15

Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
