Lasagna
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound pork sausage or Italian sausage
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 24 ounces pasta sauce
- 1 cup water
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Soak the lasagna noodles (see note).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef, sausage, onion, and garlic until no longer pink. Drain fat.
- Stir in the pasta sauce and water. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, make the cheese mixture. Mix and combine ricotta cheese, 1 ½ cups mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan cheese.
- Layer: First layer- Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in the prepared casserole dish. Top it with 4 lasagna noodles, breaking to fit if needed—layer with ⅓ of the ricotta cheese mixture, spreading to cover noodles. Repeat layers twice more- meat, noodles, cheese. Finish with remaining sauce.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Allow lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Soaking lasagna noodles: Place the noodles in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot tap water. Leave it on the counter for 30 minutes while preparing other lasagna ingredients.
