Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking for 8-10 minutes until browned.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Stir in diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until onions turn translucent.
- Build the Sauce: Combine crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red wine into the meat mixture. Stir in Italian seasonings, oregano, and fennel seeds. Simmer for 1 hour.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Mix ricotta cheese, grated Romano or Parmesan, and egg in a bowl until creamy. Refrigerate.
- Cook the Noodles: Boil salted water and add lasagna noodles, cooking for 3 minutes. Drain and lay flat to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Lasagna: In a greased baking dish, layer meat sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, and repeat until all ingredients are used.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F. Cover with parchment and foil, bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 20-25 minutes until cheese is golden.
- Allow to Rest: Let the lasagna rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
