Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and Italian sausage; cook until browned and crumbled, breaking up any large pieces.
• Stir in marinara sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
• Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the remaining meat sauce and one-third of the mozzarella.
• Repeat layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining meat sauce, and another third of mozzarella. Top with final 4 noodles, remaining meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
• Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
• Let lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
