Ingredients
To make Gordon Ramsay's lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 cans (6 ounces each) tomato paste
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup red wine
1 package (16 ounces) lasagna noodles
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, water, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 30 minutes, add the red wine to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the sauce cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 2: Cook the Lasagna Noodles
While the meat sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and chopped parsley. Stir to combine.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of the cheese filling. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the lasagna.
Step 5: Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy with a side salad and a glass of red wine.
