Homemade Lasagna ### Ingredients:

12 lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the meat is browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer for about 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, and half the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer 4 noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, one-third of the mozzarella cheese, and another layer of meat sauce. Repeat these layers, ending with noodles and meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (avoid touching the cheese with the foil) and bake for 25 minutes. Then, uncover the dish and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna sit for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade creation!
