A delicious and hearty lasagna recipe with a rich meat sauce and layers of creamy cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef and sausage over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
Break up the meat into small pieces for even cooking.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, and parsley until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Spread a layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top.
Ensure the noodles are evenly spaced for consistent layers.
Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese.
Use a spatula to spread the cheese mixture evenly.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
Press down gently on the layers to compact them.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the cheese.
Letting the cheese brown adds a delicious crust.
Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the layers to set for easier slicing.
