12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese (in addition to cheese mixture)
Extra parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet or pot, cook the ground beef, Italian sausage, and diced onion over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the marinara sauce, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using). Simmer on low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Make the Cheese Mixture
In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and parsley until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Place 3 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them.
Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce.
Sprinkle with a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce, shredded mozzarella) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and shredded mozzarella on top.
