Introduction
A classic, comforting homemade lasagna layered with a rich meat sauce made from Italian sausage and ground beef, a creamy herb-infused ricotta cheese filling, and topped with melted fresh mozzarella and parmesan.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and set a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Remove the casings from the Italian sausage.
Step 3
Add the Italian sausage and ground beef to the hot Dutch oven. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat and brown it evenly for 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves and dice the medium onion.
Step 5
Once the meat is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Combining Italian sausage with ground beef creates a much deeper, more robust flavor profile for the meat sauce.
Cook the lasagna noodles until just al dente; they will absorb excess moisture and finish cooking during the baking process.
Rinsing the cooked pasta with cold water immediately stops the cooking and prevents the sheets from sticking together in a clump.
Allowing the lasagna to rest for 15 minutes after baking is crucial for clean slices, otherwise, the layers will slide and ooze apart.
