Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan approximately 18x13 inches
  • 1 large skillet
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 aluminum foil
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 12 pieces lasagna noodles (uncooked)
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • for garnish fresh basil leaves optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, half of the Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  • Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the sheet pan. Layer 4 lasagna noodles side by side.
  • Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Add another layer of meat sauce, followed by another 4 noodles, and repeat the process: ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and 1 cup of mozzarella.
  • Top the final layer of noodles with the remaining meat sauce, the rest of the mozzarella, and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover the sheet pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, you can include vegetables like spinach or mushrooms in the meat sauce. You can also prepare this dish ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking. Just increase the baking time by about 10 minutes if baking straight from the fridge.
