This will be the best lasagna you’ve ever made. Pretty much impossible to screw up.<\/p>\n
This makes a full 13×9″ pan of lasagna, which is about a dozen hearty servings. If you’re not cooking for an army, you can easily cut every ingredient in half and use an 8×8″ pan instead.<\/p>\n
Ingredients\/shopping list:<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Get out your full-size glass 13×9″ baking pan and grease it up with some Pam or butter on a paper towel, or whatever you like to do.<\/p>\n
There are three tasks that must be completed before you can build\u00a0the lasagna. They can be done in parallel. This is a recipe where too many cooks will probably not spoil the broth, it goes much quicker if you have\u00a0helpers who can follow instructions.<\/p>\n
1. Make the meat sauce.<\/p>\n
Dice up the 1\/2 yellow onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic. Saut\u00e9e this all together in a pan with some vegetable oil.<\/p>\n
In a second pan, starting with a bit of vegetable oil, cook the beef and sausage together on medium-high heat for about 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Remove from heat when it seems like it’s almost done.<\/p>\n
Pour the onion\/garlic mixture and the meat into a large bowl for mixing. Add the cans of tomatoes and tomato paste, 1\/2 cup of the wine, 2 tbsp parsley, 2 tbsp basil, 1 tsp salt. Stir it all up into a delicious sauce.<\/p>\n
2. Make the cheese sauce.<\/p>\n
Combine in a bowl:<\/p>\n
Mix it all up very thoroughly until it has an even consistency like mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n
3. Cook the lasagna noodles. Boil them for 6-7 minutes, drain, and lay them all out on sheets of foil. The noodles should be pliable but only half-cooked.<\/p>\n
FINALLY, it is time to build the lasagna.<\/p>\n
Look at\u00a0your noodles and mentally divide them into thirds. Take the first third and lay them down in the pan so they cover the whole bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n
Spread 1\/3 of the cheese sauce onto the noodles.<\/p>\n
Spread 1\/3 of the meat sauce onto the cheese sauce.<\/p>\n
Spread 1\/3 of the 1-lb bag of mozzarella cheese onto the meat sauce.<\/p>\n
Repeat. Noodles, cheese sauce, meat sauce, cheese. 3 layers total.<\/p>\n
Bake it for 30 minutes at 350 F. Let it cool down before you try to eat it, you animal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
