Cheesy Layered Lasagna Delight

Ingredients

For the Meat Sauce:
1 lb ground beef or sausage

1 medium onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

24 oz marinara sauce

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper to taste

For the Cheese Filling:
15 oz ricotta cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
For Assembly:
12 lasagna noodles (cooked according to package instructions)

1 cup shredded mozzarella (extra for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce:

In a skillet, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
Mix the Cheese Filling:

In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, parsley, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix well until creamy.
Assemble the Lasagna:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture, followed by 1/3 of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese, sauce) until you’ve used all ingredients.
Finish with a layer of noodles, topped with meat sauce and extra shredded mozzarella.
Bake to Perfection:

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy:

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Pro Tip

For an extra cheesy experience, add a mix of provolone and mozzarella for the top layer. This guarantees a perfectly gooey bite every time!

Buon appetito!
