How to Make Classic Lasagne

Gather all the ingredients: lasagne noodles, ground beef or sausage, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Saute chopped onions and minced garlic until soft. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned. Stir in tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, one beaten egg, a pinch of salt, and a handful of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagne noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer with noodles, half the ricotta mixture, more meat sauce, and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat, finishing with mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan on top.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Cut the lasagne into squares and serve with a side salad or garlic bread.
