Next Level Lasagne Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagne noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the chopped fresh basil and parsley.

In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

To assemble the lasagne, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagne noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let the lasagne cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into squares and serve hot.
