Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Filling:

  • 15 oz. ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ tsp each: salt, dried basil, dried parsley
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Meat Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • ½ lb. ground beef
  • ½ lb. ground Italian sausage (hot or mild)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 32 oz. marinara sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Lasagna:

  • 12 lasagna noodles (plus extra for breakage)
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  • Combine the cheese filling mixture in a medium bowl and set aside. Spread ½ cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the diced onions. Let them soften for 10 minutes.
  • Add ground beef and sausage, increasing heat to medium-high. Break up the meat into fine crumbles and cook for 8-10 minutes. Add garlic during the last minute and drain excess grease.
  • Add chicken broth to the pot and scrape the bottom to release any browned bits. Stir in remaining marinara sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
  • While the sauce simmers, boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  • Line the noodles on parchment or wax paper. Spread 2½ tablespoons of cheese mixture over each noodle and ¼ cup of sauce, reserving the rest.
  • Roll up the noodles tightly and place them seam side down in the baking dish. Top with remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella.
  • Cover with foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, and bake for 35 minutes. Optionally, remove the foil and broil at 450°F to brown the top.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute the meat with sautéed mushrooms or a mix of vegetables.
