Classic Lasagna!

Here’s a Classic Lasagna 🍝
Comforting, layered, and perfect for family meals.

Ingredients

Meat sauce

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 onion (chopped)

• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

• 500 g / 1 lb ground beef (or half beef, half pork)

• 1 can crushed tomatoes

• 2 tbsp tomato paste

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp dried basil

• Salt & pepper

Cheese layer

• 1½ cups ricotta cheese

• 1 egg

• 1 cup grated mozzarella

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan

Other

• Lasagna sheets (regular or no-boil)

• Extra mozzarella for topping

Instructions

1. Make the sauce

   • Heat oil, sauté onion until soft.

   • Add garlic and meat; cook until browned.

   • Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs, salt & pepper.

   • Simmer 15–20 minutes.

2. Prepare cheese mixture

   • Mix ricotta, egg, mozzarella, and Parmesan.

3. Assemble (oven 180°C / 350°F)

   • Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish.

   • Layer: lasagna sheets → meat sauce → ricotta mix.

   • Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and mozzarella on top.

4. Bake

   • Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes.

   • Uncover and bake 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

5. Rest

   • Let sit 10–15 minutes before cutting.

Tips

• If using dry sheets, make sure sauce fully covers them.

• Tastes even better the next day.

• Add a veggie layer (spinach or zucchini) if you like.

If you want, I can give you a vegetarian, white sauce (béchamel), or smaller-batch version.
