The BEST Homemade Lasagna
10 mins prepServes 9
This lasagna is a rich, cheesy, and hearty comfort food with layers of tender pasta, savory meat sauce, and creamy ricotta that’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
0 Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a pot of boiling water. Cook the lasagna sheets according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onions. Cook until no pink is visible, then drain the grease.
1 Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, beef broth, beef bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2 In a small mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese, egg, and parmesan cheese. Mix until fully combined.
3 Spread a small layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Lay 3 lasagna sheets side by side, then a layer of the ricotta mixture, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. Repeat these layers two more times, ending with meat sauce and shredded mozzarella on top.
4 Cover and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Uncover and broil on high for 2–3 minutes until the top is golden. Let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
