CHEF JOHN'S LASAGNA
There are only two things you need for great lasagna: a thick, rich, super-meaty meat sauce and lots of it, and a ricotta filling where only the finest cheeses are welcomed. For the sauce, I love a combination of half Italian sausage and half lean ground beef. I also like lots of sauce.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 6 cups prepared marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons water, plus more as needed
- 2 eggs
- 2 pounds whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) container fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
- ⅔ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
- 1 (8 ounce) container fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
- ½ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Steps:
- Place sausage and ground beef into a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until meat is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart as it cooks. Stir in mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, Italian herb seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until mushrooms have given off their juices and bottom of pan is almost dry.
- Pour prepared marinara sauce into meat mixture. Pour water into marinara sauce jar and shake to get all the sauce out of the jar; add to mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is extremely tender, about 2 hours. Add a little more water if sauce becomes too thick. Skim excess fat from surface of the sauce and season with more salt and black pepper, if needed. Turn off heat.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Beat eggs in a large bowl and stir in ricotta cheese, 8 ounces diced mozzarella cheese, and 2/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Season cheese mixture with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix in parsley.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse noodles and set aside in a bowl of cold water.
- Spread 1/4 the sauce into the bottom of a 10x15-inch baking pan. Top with 1/3 the noodles and spread 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture over noodles. Spread 1/4 the meat sauce over the cheese, top with 1/3 the noodles, and spread remaining 1/2 the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Spread 1/4 the meat sauce over the cheese filling. Tap the casserole dish lightly on a sturdy work surface to settle the layers. Arrange last 1/3 the noodles over sauce and spread remaining 1/4 the sauce over the noodles. Dot top of the casserole with 4 ounces diced fresh mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
- Cover casserole with aluminum foil, being sure not to touch the top of the casserole with the foil. Place casserole onto a baking sheet to catch spills.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook until lasagna is golden brown and bubbling, 30 to 35 more minutes. Let set for 20 minutes before cutting into squares.

Top Asked Questions
How to make the world's best lasagna?
World's Best Lasagna. 1 1 pound sweet Italian sausage. 2 ¾ pound lean ground beef. 3 ½ cup minced onion. 4 2 cloves garlic, crushed. 5 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes. 6 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste. 7 2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce. 8 ½ cup water. 9 2 tablespoons white sugar. 10 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil leaves.How to cook lasagna noodles in the oven?
Directions. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F...What is ricotta sauce used for in Lasagna?
The ricotta filling is mixed with nutty Parmesan to add flavor and to temper the sharpness of the garlic. We worked hard to get the right balance of ricotta and tomato sauce in the layers of this traditional lasagna, since each element has its own voice.Do you cut lasagna noodles when making pulled pork?
Look for shorter lasagna noodles at the store – you won't need to cut them when assembling the final dish. Place the beef in a large bowl and "pull" it apart with two forks as if you were shredding pulled pork, breaking up the clumps and loosening the meat without compacting it. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium-high heat.
