Description
Most Amazing Lasagna Recipe is best recipe for home-made Italian style lasagna. The balance between layers of noodles, cheese & home-made bolognese sauce is perfection!
Instructions
- In large pot over medium-heat, add ground beef & ground sausage. Use a spoon to break up meat into small pieces. Then Add onion & garlic & cook till meat is well browned, stirring constantly. Stir in fresh basil, sugar, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon salt, oregano, pepper, & 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Pour tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce & wine. Stir well & bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low & simmer 1 to 4 hours, stir occasionally.
- Place lasagna noodles in the bottom of pan. Pour hot tap-water directly over noodles, making sure pasta is completely immersed in water. Let them soak for 30 mins, then drain & discard water.
- In mixing bowl, mix ricotta-cheese with remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt & nutmeg. Refrigerate til ready to assemble lasagna.
- Pre-heat oven to 375degrees. Lightly grease a deep 9 x 13 pan.
- To assemble, spread about 1cup meat sauce in bottom of prepared pan. Place 4 noodles on top. Spread with 1 / 3 of ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1/4 of mozzarella-cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat-sauce over mozzarella, then sprinkle with 1/4cup parmesan-cheese. Repeat layering two more times to create three complete layers. To finish, place final layer of pasta, topped with another 1-cup of meat-sauce to cover pasta. Top with remaining mozzarella & Parmesan-cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum-foil.
- Bake in pre-heated oven for 25 mins. Remove foil & bake an additional 25 mins to allow cheese to brown. Serve hot.
NOTES
- The white wine can be replaced with red wine, beef broth or chicken broth.
- After preparing & assembling your lasagna, you can cover & refrigerate for upto 48-hours before baking. Freezing lasagna of this size is possible, but will require very long baking time in order to heat all the way through.
