Step‑by‑Step Instructions for World’s Best Lasagna

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your workspace.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking them apart. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Then, add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish starting with meat sauce, followed by noodles, the ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Let the lasagna cool for about 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
