This isn't just any lasagna; it's layers upon layers of rich meat sauce, creamy cheese, and perfect pasta.What I love most is the magic that happens when you hit that sauce-to-noodle ratio just right—no soupiness, just pure lasagna heaven.And here's a little tip from my kitchen to yours: always start with a thin layer of sauce at the bottom to keep those noodles from sticking.
You'll want to start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the Italian sausage and ground beef, and cook until browned; this should release some amazing aromas.
Step 4
Stir in the garlic and onions until they become translucent.
Step 5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, seasoning with kosher salt, oregano, and Italian seasoning, and let it simmer to let the flavors meld together.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, make your cheese mixture.
Step 7
Combine the ricotta, egg, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, adding kosher salt to your liking.
Step 8
Lay down your first layer of cooked lasagna noodles in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 9
Spread a portion of the meat sauce over the noodles.
Step 10
Dollop and spread the cheese mixture on top of the meat sauce.
Step 11
Repeat these layers, finishing with a layer of noodles and a final sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 12
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
