Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 12 San Giorgio Lasagna noodles (pre-cooked)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 32 oz Ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 26 oz marinara sauce

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken.
  • Use lactose-free ricotta and mozzarella for a dairy-sensitive option.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Noodles

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Cook 12 San Giorgio lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Meat Sauce

  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium, then add 1 lb ground beef, 1 chopped onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes or until the beef is fully browned.
  3. Drain excess fat, then stir in 26 oz marinara sauce, ensuring it’s thoroughly combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

  1. In a separate mixing bowl, add 32 oz ricotta cheese, 2 beaten eggs, 1 tbsp parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Mix until it reaches a smooth consistency, perfect for spreading.

Step 4: Layer Your Lasagna

  1. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread 1/3 of the meat sauce to create the base layer.
  2. Arrange 4 lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the ricotta mixture.
  3. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Repeat these layers once more, then top with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, mozzarella, and a 1/2 cup Parmesan sprinkle.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  1. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbling and golden.
  2. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing to enhance its layered structure.

Equipment

Notes

 

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs and cheese make a difference.
  • Bake on a Middle Rack: This ensures even heat distribution.
  • Let it Rest: Give the lasagna time to set before serving.
