Let’s break it down a little more so you know exactly what you need and, hey, maybe toss in a personal touch or two!

Meat Options

Feel free to grab whatever ground meat you’ve got laying around. Ground turkey or chicken could be fabulous substitutes for a lighter take. If you want a vegetarian version, use mushrooms, zucchini, or lentils instead, the options are endless!

Cheese Lovers

Switch up the cheese based on what you have on hand! Ricotta, goat cheese, or even a little feta can add that special zing. Mix it up!

Let’s Get Cooking!

1. Make the Meat Sauce

Start by heating that olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it’s translucent. Now, add the minced garlic (because yum!) and cook for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Next up, add both the ground beef and ground pork. Cook that for about 8-10 minutes until the meat is browned and crumbly. Remember to** scrape the yummy bits off the bottom** of the pan while cooking, those bits are flavor gold!

Once the meat’s ready, pour in the red wine (or beef broth, totally up to you), and let it cook down a bit for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly. Then stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and basil. Season with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer away for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Prepare the Béchamel Sauce

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s nice and melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until it’s a light golden color. Then, slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly so you don’t have lumps, no one wants chunky sauce!

Keep stirring as the sauce thickens, this should take about 5-7 minutes. The secret here is to keep an eye on it and stir it well! Remove from heat and stir in half of the Parmesan cheese, plus a couple pinches of salt and pepper for taste.

3. Assemble the Lasagna

Now we get to the fun part! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9×13 inch baking dish, start layering. Spread a thin layer of your meat sauce at the bottom, then place 3 or 4 lasagna noodles on top (depending on your dish).

Now, it’s time for the fun stacking game, add some béchamel sauce over the noodles, then add more meat sauce, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until you’ve used up everything, finishing off with a glorious layer of béchamel topped with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

4. Rest and Serve

Cover the lasagna with foil and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Trust me, you’ll want to bask in that aroma!

Once it’s done, let your lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing, you know the drill, or you’ll burn your mouth! If you like, garnish with fresh basil for that delightful pop of color, and honestly, flavor too!
