Description

Make-a lasagna! Who doesn’t love a meaty, saucy, cheesy lasagna.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 8 ounces, weight Lean Ground Beef
  • 6 ounces, weight Mild Or Spicy Italian Sausage, Casings Removed
  • 2 cans (15 Oz. Can) Diced Tomatoes
  • ½ cups Tomato Sauce
  • ¼ cups Fresh Basil, Chopped, Plus Extra For Sprinkling
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Crushed Red Pepper
  • _____
  • FOR THE LASAGNA:
  • 12 whole Lasagna Noodles, (trimmed For 9x9 Pan)
  • 15 ounces, weight Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese, Plus Extra For Sprinkling
  • 1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach, Chopped
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 2 cups Finely Grated Mozzarella

Preparation

SAUCE:
Heat oil in large heavy pot or saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 12 minutes. Add beef and sausages to the pan; sauté until cooked through, breaking up meat with the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer until flavors blend, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Cool.

LASAGNA:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 7 minutes. Drain; cover with cold water.

Combine ricotta and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. Mix in spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in egg.

Drain pasta and pat dry. Spread 1/2 cup sauce over the bottom of a 9×9-inch glass baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce, overlapping and trimming to fit. Spread half of the ricotta-spinach mixture evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese evenly over ricotta-spinach mixture. Spoon half of the sauce over the cheese, spreading with a spatula to cover (sauce will be thick). Repeat layering with 4 noodles, remaining ricotta-spinach mixture, 1 cup mozzarella and sauce. Repeat and top off with extra shredded cheese and fresh basil. (This can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)

Bake lasagna for 40 minutes; until hot and bubbly. Let lasagna stand for 15 minutes before serving.

I made this tonight. I am easily confused, so maybe I’m reading the recipe wrong, but I don’t understand the last step that says “repeat and top with remaining shredded mozzarella cheese?” What are you supposed to repeat when all that’s left is 4 noodles and shredded mozzarella cheese? I saved some of the sauce and put it on top of the last 4 noodles, then the cheese. Also, prep time is way more than 15 minutes, it takes that long just to chop up the onion and garlic. Otherwise, it was delicious and my family loved it.

I am a firm believer in frozen lasagnas from Costco, but this actually might convince me to try making it from scratch! It looks so delicious!!
