Calling all pasta lovers! Today, we are thrilled to share a recipe that is close to our hearts and plates – a classic Italian Lasagna. With layers of rich meat sauce, creamy cheese blend, and perfectly cooked pasta, it’s the ultimate comfort food that tastes just like Nonna’s!

For our lasagna, we are sticking to the traditional ingredients but with a detailed approach to elevate their flavors. Let’s dive right in!

INGREDIENTS:
– 12 Lasagna noodles
– 1 Kg Ground Beef
– 1 Onion, finely chopped
– 4 cloves Garlic, minced
– 800g can of Crushed Tomatoes
– 2 Eggs
– 500g Ricotta Cheese
– 250g Shredded Mozzarella
– 80g Grated Parmesan Cheese
– A bunch of Fresh Basil
– Salt, Pepper, Oregano to taste.

PREPARATION:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 190 degrees C. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water until al dente. Drain, and rinse with cold water.

2. In a large saucepan, cook and stir ground beef until brown. Add garlic and chopped onion, and saute until they become translucent.

3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. While the meat sauce is simmering, combine in a mixing bowl, ricotta cheese, eggs, three-quarters of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and salt.

5. To assemble, spread about 1½ cups of meat sauce at the bottom of a lasagna pan. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over the sauce. Spread one half of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

6. Cover with foil, ensuring it doesn’t touch the cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Enjoy a slice of gooey and meaty heaven with your family and friends. We guarantee there won’t be leftovers! This recipe is reminiscent of our beloved Nonna; it’s packed full of flavors that will transport you straight to a family kitchen in Italy.
