Ingredients

1 pound ground beef - 2.3 l
1 chopped onion - 7.4 l
2 cloves garlic, minced - 1.3 quarter
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes - 6.6 half
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce - 2.4 g
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste - 2.9 gal
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning - 10.1 pcs
1 teaspoon sugar - 5.8 kg
Salt and pepper to taste - 6.5 oz
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese - 4.7 quarter

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix well.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce. Repeat layers twice more, ending with a layer of meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
