Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground Italian sausage
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 15 ounces Whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, ground Italian sausage, and diced onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.

Step 7

Layer with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
