- 1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1-1/2 pound Ground Beef
- 1/2 pound Italian Sausage
- 28 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes
- 8 ounces Tomato Paste
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3 tablespoons Minced Fresh Parsley
- 3 tablespoons Minced Fresh Basil
- Filling
- 30 ounces Ricotta Cheese
- 2 whole Eggs
- 3/4 cups Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Minced Fresh Parsley
- 1 tablespoon Minced Fresh Basil
- 1 pound Mozzarella
Instructions
- Boil lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a sheet of foil.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook for a couple of minutes.
- Add the ground beef and sausage; stir and cook until totally browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling by combining ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil. Stir to combine.
- To assemble, spoon a little sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan OR smaller disposable foil loaf pans.
- Spread 2-3 tablespoons ricotta filling on each noodle, and then roll them up. Lay them sideways in the pans (4 will fit in the loaf pans, or you can fill a 9 x 13 inch pan with the rollups.)
- Top with remaining sauce, plenty of grated mozzarella, and grated Parmesan.
- If baking immediately, bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- If baking from a frozen state, bake, covered in foil, at 350 for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for 15 minutes or until lasagna is done.
