Lasagna is super comforting and the perfect dish for hosting a crowd. I like to make a double recipe and immediately freeze one to have at a later time!

Ingredients

• 9–12 Oven Ready lasagna noodles
• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage
• 1/2 an onion, diced
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 24 oz marinara
• 15 oz ricotta
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
• Salt & pepper

Directions

1. Brown meat. Once almost cooked through, add in diced onion and garlic.
2. Stir in marinara.
3. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta, egg, parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper.
4. In a greased 9×13 pan, layer: meat sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella. Repeat until pan is full, ideally ending with mozzarella.
5. Cover with foil.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until bubbly, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes.
7. *Broil for approximately 3-5 mins for a crispy and golden cheese crust, but watch closely so it does not burn!*

To Freeze

• Use an aluminum foil pan and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil lid
• Freeze before baking for best texture.
• Thaw overnight before baking.
