Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.
- In a skillet, combine the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook over medium heat until browned and drain any excess fat.
- In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Spread a layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Layering
- Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, making sure they are evenly spaced.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the meat mixture, and sprinkle a third of the mozzarella on top.
- Repeat layering with sauce, noodles, ricotta, meat, and mozzarella, finishing with sauce on top and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Baking
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Serving suggestions include pairing with a fresh side salad or garlic bread. Garnish with freshly chopped basil for added color.
