Steps:
- Sauce:.
- In a large heavy bottomed pot, heat the olive oil, add the beef, pork, veal and sausage (without casing) and cook until browned.
- Add garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the meat is coated.
- Add tomatoes with their juices and the tomato puree, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Simmer over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened about 1 1/2 hours.
- Ricotta:.
- In large bowl, combine the ricotta with the parsley, basil, 1 cup of the Parmesan, 1 pound of the shredded mozzarella and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Noodles:.
- The instructions suggested cooking the dry, curly-ridged lasagna noodles 3 minutes in abundant salted water, drained, rinsed -- I say use fresh, no-cook or even the curly edged pasta, and forget about the pre-cooking. I guarantee the sauce will cook the noodles after 45 minutes of cooking time. This also makes life much easier.
- Lasagna Time:.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Spread 1.5 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Line the dish with overlapping noodles.
- Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, sprinkle with a little Parmesan and shredded mozzarella then top with 1 1/2 cups of the sauce and another layer of noodles.
- Repeat the layering 2 more times. Top with noodles and cover with 1 1/2 cups of sauce (may want to use extra if using uncooked noodles to ensure the noodles are covered and cook evenly. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the lasagna.
- Cover Lasagna with foil and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Uncover then cook for 30-45 minutes more or until the top is golden and crisp around the edges and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the lasagna rest for 20 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a wide, shallow baking dish, such as a 9x13 inch lasagna pan.
- Don't boil the lasagna noodles before assembling the dish. Simply cook them according to the package directions, drain, and rinse them with cold water.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage in the meat sauce.
- Add a layer of sautéed mushrooms or chopped spinach to the lasagna for an extra boost of flavor and nutrients.
- Be generous with the cheese! Use a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses for the best results.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to firm up.
Conclusion:
Lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a homemade lasagna that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give lasagna a try!
