Ingredients
To whip up this Italian classic, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 12 lasagne sheets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 500g ground beef or sausage
- 400g canned tomatoes (or fresh if you’re feeling fancy)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 250g ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 300g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50g grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Now, let’s break it down step-by-step so you can impress your friends and family with your culinary skills:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You gotta get that heat going!
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent—about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. It’s going to be fragrant in your kitchen!
- Now, it’s time to add the ground beef or sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with your spatula. It should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and oregano. Season it with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes so those flavors can mingle.
- While your meat sauce is bubbling away, let’s make the cheese filling! In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Grab a baking dish and start layering: first a bit of meat sauce, then a layer of lasagne sheets, followed by a layer of the ricotta mix, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat this until you’ve used all the ingredients, making sure to top it off with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with aluminum foil (to avoid a cheese volcano) and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let it sit for a few minutes before diving in. It’s hard, but trust us on this one!
Now that you’ve mastered the art of lasagne, invite your friends over, and let the feasting begin! Remember, sharing is caring but hiding the leftovers is a food lover’s secret!
