World's Best Lasagna

What makes this the best?

A tried and true all-time favorite. It’s got the layers of pasta, meaty sauce, creamy ricotta, and gooey mozzarella cheese that you know and love.  But there’s just something about this sauce that makes this recipe so amazing.

Brown the Meat

Cook the sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until browned.

Make the Sauce

Add the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Simmer for at least an hour and a half.

Prepare Pasta and Cheese

Cook the lasagna noodles (unless you are using no-boil noodles), shred the mozzarella, and stir together ricotta, egg, parsley, and salt.

Layer Sauce and Noodles

Spread sauce in the bottom of the pan and add a layer of noodles.

Add Cheese

Spread sauce in the bottom of the pan and add a layer of noodles.

Finish the Layers

Add more sauce, then repeat the layers of noodles, cheeses, and sauce two more times. Then finish with a layer of mozzarella and parmesan

Bake the Lasagna
