  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

15 oz ricotta cheese

1 large egg

2 cups mozzarella cheese

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon dried parsley

¼ teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small yellow onion, diced

½ pound ground beef

½ pound ground Italian sausage (hot or mild)

3 cloves garlic

½ cup chicken broth

32 oz marinara sauce

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

12 lasagna noodles plus extra for breakage

1.5 cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1-Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water.

2-Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, add diced onions, and cook for about 10 minutes until soft. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, increase heat to medium-high, break up the meat finely, and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned. Add garlic during the last minute, then drain excess grease.

3-Add chicken broth and scrape the pot bottom with a spatula. Stir in the remaining marinara sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer.

4-Spread ½ cup marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Lay the noodles on parchment or wax paper, spread approximately 2½ tablespoons of cheese mixture over each noodle, followed by ¼ cup of meat sauce, then roll tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish.

5-Top the rolls with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil sprayed with non-stick spray and bake for 35 minutes. Optionally, broil at 450°F for a few minutes to brown the top, watching closely. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
