 Preparation

Step 1: Cook the Lasagna Noodles

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
3. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
4. Set aside.

Tip: Do not overcook the noodles—they will continue cooking in the oven.

Step 2: Prepare the Meat Sauce

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add ground beef and Italian sausage.
5. Cook until browned, breaking the meat into small pieces.
6. Drain excess grease if needed.
7. Stir in marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
8. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to blend.

Step 3: Make the Ricotta Mixture

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and chopped parsley.
2. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Set aside.

Tip: The egg helps the lasagna set perfectly when baked.

 Assembling the Lasagna

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
3. Add a layer of lasagna noodles.
4. Spread ricotta mixture evenly over noodles.
5. Spoon meat sauce on top.
6. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7. Repeat layers until ingredients are used.
8. Finish with meat sauce and a generous layer of cheese on top.

 Baking Instructions

1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
2. Bake for 30 minutes.
3. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden.
4. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Why resting matters: It helps the layers hold together when served.
