I can't remember where i got this lasagna recipe. I doctored it up a little bit, and this always turns out great! Its a family favorite. There is prep involved, but the results are to die for! Besides, a quick and easy lasagna is never as good as a homemade lasagna =) Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1/2 lb pork sausage |
1 onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
12 dry lasagna noodles |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 pint ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons dried parsley |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef, pork, onion, and garlic; drain fat.
2. Mix in basil, oregano, brown sugar, 1 1/2 TSP salt, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
4. Lay noodles flat on towels, and blot dry.
5. In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, parmesan cheese, parsley, and 1 TSP salt.
6. Layer 1/3 of the lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9X13 inch baking dish.
7. Cover noodles with 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, and 1/3 of the sauce.
8. Repeat.
9. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle additional parmesan cheese over the top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
