Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 250 grams sweet Italian sausage
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 800 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 170 grams tomato paste
• 400 grams tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 450 grams ricotta cheese
• 1 unit large egg
• 100 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 400 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 sheets lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add ground beef, Italian sausage, and diced onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent, breaking up the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 3

Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, sugar, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

While the sauce simmers, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse them with cold water to prevent sticking.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, 50 grams of Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well combined. Set aside.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish.

Step 7

Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the cheese layer with 1/3 of the meat sauce.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, meat sauce) two more times, finishing with the remaining meat sauce on top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the final layer of meat sauce.

Step 10

Cover the lasagna loosely with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

Step 12

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