Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, removed from casing
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 32 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese, drained
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 box oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, heavy cream, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the drained ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and fresh parsley. Mix well.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • Layer lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese mixture, mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
