Luscious Lasagna Recipe Ingredients
500g very lean minced beef
4 large Italian sausages
1 pack instant lasagna sheets
1kg spaghetti sauce or ragu (see 'Accompaniments')
500g mozzarella cheese, grated
500g ricotta or cottage cheese
Luscious Lasagna Recipe Directions
Cook sausages until mostly cooked. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Brown minced meat in frying pan.
Add sausages and minced meat to the spaghetti sauce in a large pot.
Mix well and simmer for 1 to 2 hours (2 hours is better than 1).
When sauce is ready, preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce over the base of your lasagna dish.
Then layer some lasagna sheets (making sure they don't overlap, where possible).
Pour half of the sauce on top of the sheets.
Then spread half the cottage/ ricotta cheese on the sauce.
Layer with another set of lasagna sheets.
Then spread the rest of the sauce on top of sheets.
Spread the rest of the cottage/ ricotta cheese on top.
Put one more layer of lasagna sheets if desired.
Top the dish with the mozzarella cheese.
Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil, return lasagna to the oven and cook until the cheese is golden brown.
Allow your luscious lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
