***TOMATO & RICOTTA RECIPE***
This recipe is formulated for an 8 inch (20 cm) square pan and would serve 4-6 people.
1 pound (454g) box of dry lasagna noodles fitted to your pan (you might not need all of it; I use De Cecco Lasagna No. 1, which fits the 8 inch pan)
1 28 oz (800g) can of crushed tomatoes (you might not need all of it; I use Pastene Kitchen Ready or Muir Glen)
1 pound (454g) ricotta cheese
1 pound (454g) grated mozzarella (you might not need all of it)
1/2 cup (50g) grated parmesan or pecorino
olive oil
salt
seasonings (I use garlic & onion powder, dried oregano/basil/parsley/marjoram, dried chili flakes and pepper)
fresh herb for garnish (I use basil)
Heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
Cover the bottom of the pan with a layer of crushed tomatoes, drizzle in a little olive oil, and season that layer lightly with salt and your other herbs and spices. Lay in the first layer of lasagna noodles (don't parboil them first), and dust them with a little salt. Lay in a layer of ricotta and sprinkle on some mozzarella and parmesan. Lay in your second pasta layer and sprinkle them with a little salt. Lay in more tomatoes and repeat until you have built at least four layers, with tomatoes atop the final layer, making sure to reserve tome mozzarella for melting on the top later.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake it for about 45 minutes. Take the foil off, sprinkle on some mozzarella and bake for another 15 minutes. At the very end, turn on the broiler (grill) to brown the cheese to your liking — this should only take a couple minutes, so watch it closely.
Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving with fresh herbs. If you want a tidier presentation, chill the lasagna whole in the fridge. When it's firm, you'll get cleaner edges when you cut. Reheat the cut pieces on top of a little splash of water in a covered baking dish in the oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and broil on a little more mozzarella, to make the top look nicer.
***MEAT SAUCE & CREAM RECIPE***
This recipe is formulated for an 8 inch (20 cm) square pan and would serve 4-6 people — NOTE this is half the size of the lasagna I baked in the video. I'm giving the meat sauce recipe from the video below, but you could make it with about two pounds (a kilo) of frozen meat sauce from my old recipe here:
1 pound (454g) box of dry lasagna noodles fitted to your pan (you might not need all of it; I use De Cecco Lasagna No. 1, which fits the 8 inch pan)
1 cup (half pint, 236mL) cream
1/2 cup (50g) grated parmesan or pecorino
a little grated mozzarella, just for the top
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
salt
fresh herb for garnish (I use basil)
For the meat sauce:
1 pound (454g) ground beef
1 28 oz (800g) can whole peeled tomatoes (I use Muir Glen)
a squeeze of tomato paste (about a tablespoon)
1 large onion
1 large carrot
olive oil
salt
seasonings (I use garlic & onion powder, dried oregano/basil/parsley/marjoram, dried chili flakes and pepper)
balsamic vinegar
To make the meat sauce, peel and dice the onion and carrot, and cook them in a little olive oil in a wide pan over high heat until soft and starting to brown, 4-5 minutes. Push the veg to the edges of the pan and smash the meat into the center, making a wide, flat disk. When you can smell the meat browning, start scraping the bottom of the pan and stirring, using the moisture of the remaining raw meat to deglaze (you might want to turn the heat down a bit at this point).
When all the meat has turned color, stir in a squeeze of tomato paste and let it brown for a moment. Before it burns, deglaze with the juice from your can of tomatoes. Squish the tomatoes with your hand and stir them in, along with a pinch of salt and whatever other seasonings you have. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for at least an hour, stirring occasionally. Taste for seasoning and stir in a little splash of the vinegar. NOTE: This will give you as much as twice the meat sauce you will need for an 8x8 inch lasagna. Freeze the rest.
To make the lasagna, heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Cover the bottom of the pan in a layer of cream, then lay in the first layer of lasagna noodles (don't parboil them first). Sprinkle the noodles with a little salt and chopped garlic, then lay in a layer of the meat sauce. Sprinkle the meat sauce with parmesan, lay in another pasta layer and repeat until you have at least four layers, with at least a little meat sauce on top. Drizzle the rest of the cream on top.
Bake according to the directions I gave for the previous lasagna — I would copy and paste those here, but YouTube won't allow me enough characters in the description box.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb (454 g) lean ground beef
1 lb (454 g) Mild Italian sausage
2 to 3 Tbsp olive oil (to sauté onion)
2 cloves (9 g) garlic minced
1 small onion diced (97 g)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
2 Tbsp lightly dried parsley
1/2 tsp granulated garlic powder
1/2 tsp granulated onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
24 oz (680 g) Pasta sauce of your choice
NOTE: Add 12 oz more of pasta sauce for a saucier lasagna
8 oz (236.5 mL) water or low sodium beef broth (only if using no boil noodles)
16 oz (454 g) mozzarella cheese shredded
3 oz (84 g) parmesan cheese grated
15 oz (425 g) ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1 box of no - boil lasagna noodles
NOTE: I bought a store brand 12 ounce box of noodles and only used 9 long lasagna noodles. Depending on the brand or size of lasagna noodles will determine the amount you need for 3 layers
9x13 Baking Dish
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a preheated pot add olive oil, small diced onions and sauté until onions are cooked and softened
- To the same pot add lean ground beef, Italian sausage, salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, 1 Tbsp lightly dried parsley and cook on a medium high heat until meat is browned
- Once meat is cooked through, be sure to drain any rendered fat out of the meat
- Now add pasta sauce, and water to the cooked meat
- Combine well
- Bring meat sauce to a simmer, cover with a lid, lower the heat and gently simmer for 20 minutes on a low heat
- After 20 minutes remove meat sauce from stove and then set aside until ready to use
- In a large bowl combine egg, ricotta cheese, 1 Tbsp lightly dried parsley, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and mix well
- In a separate large bowl combine the remainder shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese
- At this point you should have your meat sauce, ricotta cheese mixture and shredded cheese mixture in three separate bowls
ASSEMBLY
- In a 9 x 13 inch baking dish add 1 cup or a good scoop of meat sauce and evenly spread on the bottom of your baking dish
- Now place 3 long no-boil lasagna noodles (or 4 if using a shorter sized noodle) on top of meat sauce. Be sure to leave space between noodles as they will expand as they bake
- Now spread half of your ricotta cheese mixture on to noodles
- Next evenly sprinkle a 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of shredded cheese mixture
- Then add 1 1 /2 to 2 cups of meat sauce and spread evenly
- Repeat this process once more
- Now add one more layer of lasagna noodles, add the remainder of meat sauce and top with remainder of cheese
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil
- BAKE in a preheated oven @ 375ºF / 190ºC covered for 45 minutes
- Then uncover and continue baking for 15 minutes more or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling
- Once lasagna is done, remove from the oven and allow it to set for 20 to 25 minutes
- Allowing your lasagna to set and cool a bit will make cutting in to square pieces a lot easier
- This lasagna will serve 9 to 12 slices
