THE MOST AMAZING LASAGNA RECIPE

Please See Other Recipes

I’ve been on the quest for the perfect lasagna for years. I can tell you right now that this recipe is the ultimate lasagna recipe. It’s absolute perfection and possibly the world’s best lasagna! You won’t need another recipe ever again.

The best lasagna recipe ever starts out with a homemade bolognese sauce. Bolognese sauce is a meat based sauce that gets its name because it originates in Bologna, Italy. In this recipe I’ve used a combination of lean ground beef and Italian style ground sausage. You’ll want to be sure to use a lean ground beef (93/7) for best results so that the sauce doesn’t end up greasy.

The sauce builds flavor with minced onion and garlic. You’ll want to make sure to mince your onions (a very small dice) because you don’t want the sauce to end up being too chunky. We are going for the ideal texture here and the only chunks in the sauce should be from the meat.

Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 large white onion, minced
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 (28 ounce can) crushed tomatoes
• 2 (6 ounce can) tomato paste
• 1 (15 oz can) tomato sauce
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• ½ cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (divided)
• 1 pound lasagna noodles
• 30 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pound deli sliced mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, add in ground sausage and ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Add in onion and garlic and cook until meat is well browned, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar, fresh basil, fennel, oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and ¼ cup chopped parsley. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a pan. Pour hot tap water directly over the noodles, making sure the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and discard water.
