Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cloves of garlic - crushed
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 large sweet onion diced
  • 1 12 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 2 28 oz cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 box Lasagna noodles
  • 2 eggs - lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pound ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 pound sliced provolone cheese
  • 1/2 pound sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Brown garlic, onion, beef and sausage in olive oil. Add the canned tomatoes, sauce, paste and spices. Simmer for 1 hour.
  • In a separate bowl combine, ricotta, eggs and parsley.
  • In a deep lasagna pan start with a light layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan.
  • Next place your noodles close together.
  • Then spread about 1/2 of the ricotta mixture.
  • Top with some of the mozzarella and provolone. What I do is slice them in half and lay each slice closed together alternating the provolone and mozzarella.
  • Then spread half of the meat mixture followed by a sprinkle of Parmesan.
  • Repeat.
  • Top with remaining mozzarella and provolone slices.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 mins.
  • Remove foil and continue baking for 15 mins.
  • Remove from oven let stand for 15-20 mins before serving.
