A delicious lasagna recipe with a rich meat sauce and creamy cheese layers, perfect for family dinners.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, sausage, onion, and garlic over medium heat until browned.
Drain excess fat from the skillet to avoid a greasy sauce.
Stir in the salt, pepper, oregano, basil, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Add a bit of oil to the boiling water to prevent the noodles from sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, pepper, parsley, parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce. Layer with noodles, cheese mixture, and meat sauce. Repeat layers, ending with noodles and remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Ensure the top layer of noodles is fully covered with cheese to prevent drying out.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Letting the lasagna bake uncovered at the end gives it a delightful crust.
Allow the lasagna to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting helps the layers set, making it easier to serve.
