Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1/2 pound Italian sausage

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 (14.5 oz) cans crushed tomatoes

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/4 cup beef broth

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese

1 egg

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish

12 lasagna noodles

Instructions

  • Prepare Meat Sauce:
    Heat olive oil in a large pan. Brown the ground beef and sausage (8–10 minutes). Add onions and garlic; sauté for 3–4 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, sugar, and herbs. Simmer 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.

  • Make Cheese Mixture:
    In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Cook Lasagna Noodles:
    Boil noodles until al dente. Rinse and lay flat to prevent sticking.

  • Assemble Lasagna:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, and repeat for 3 layers. Finish with sauce and mozzarella.

  • Bake:
    Cover with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes.

  • Rest & Serve:
    Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a spicy twist, use hot Italian sausage and extra red pepper flakes.

  • You can prepare lasagna a day ahead and refrigerate before baking.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
