2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried parsley)
Other Ingredients:

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions 👩🍳
1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the meat sauce:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the ground beef, Italian sausage, and onion until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, sugar, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3️⃣ Prepare the cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan, and parsley until smooth.
4️⃣ Assemble the lasagna:
Spread 1/3 of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top, followed by 1/3 of the ricotta mixture and 1 cup of mozzarella.
Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
5️⃣ Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6️⃣ Cool and serve: Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
