Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles for 8–10 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage for 5–7 minutes, breaking up the meat until no pink remains; drain excess fat.
- Add the marinara sauce to the cooked meat and simmer for 10 minutes to meld flavors, stirring occasionally.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange a single layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, ensuring they slightly overlap.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the meat sauce; repeat layers once more and finish with remaining noodles and sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top layer.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before slicing to ensure clean servings.
