How to make it

  • The Sauce~ Crumble meats into a Dutch oven and brown with onions and garlic, 6-9 minutes. Add tomatoes, sauce, paste, and ½ C water. Add sugar through black pepper, using only 2T parsley. Cover pot and let sauce simmer 1½ hours. Let sit in refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight (important for taste!).
  • The Filling~Next day, let sauce simmer on low heat (do not boil, just warm gently). Soak lasagna noodles in hot tap water for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place ricotta in mixing bowl; grate fresh nutmeg over. Add egg and remaining 2T parsley. Combine mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Assembling

  • 1) Spread 1¾ C meat sauce over cheese layer. 2) Drain remaining noodles and layer them on. 3) Spread remaining ricotta mixture over noodles. 4) Spread Parmesan mixture over ricotta, saving some for the top.
