Classic Lasagna Recipe

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add beef and sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Add the onion and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the meat is brown, about 6-8 minutes. Drain the fat from the meat. Return the meat to the skillet.
3. Add your favorite The Angry Italian Marinara Sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of minced parsley.
4. As the sauce and meat mixture cooks, make the ricotta mixture. In a large bowl, add 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon basil. Stir until well incorporated.
5. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions.
6. In a 9x13” baking dish, add a very thin layer of meat sauce (about ¼ cup). Layer 3 lasagna noodles, ⅓ of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1-½ cups of meat sauce. Repeat the layers 2 more times.
7. Add a final layer of the remaining noodles, meat sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and ¼ cup parmesan cheese.
8. Cover with tin foil that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray (I use extra virgin olive oil). Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for another 15 minutes.
9. Let the lasagna cool for 15-20 minutes before enjoying!
