作り方

手順

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

   約5 分

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

   約1 分

3. 3

   Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   約7 分

4. 4

   Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.

   約1 分

5. 5

   Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned all over.

   約8 分

   調理のヒント： Drain any excess fat from the pot after browning the meat for a less greasy sauce.

6. 6

   Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

7. 7

   Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   約30 分

   調理のヒント： A longer simmer time will result in a richer, more developed flavor.

8. 8

   While the sauce simmers, combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese from the filling group, beaten egg, and chopped parsley in a medium bowl.

   約3 分

9. 9

   Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking dish.

   約1 分

   調理のヒント： This prevents the first layer of pasta from sticking to the dish.

10. 10

    Arrange a single layer of no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce.

    約1 分

11. 11

    Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce and a third of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

    約3 分

12. 12

    Repeat the layers: noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and another third of the mozzarella.

    約3 分

13. 13

    Top with a final layer of noodles, the remaining meat sauce, the rest of the mozzarella, and the parmesan cheese for garnish.

    約2 分

14. 14

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

    約25 分

    調理のヒント： Covering with foil steams the noodles and prevents the cheese from burning before the inside is hot.

15. 15

    Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly.

    約25 分

16. 16

    Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

    約15 分

    調理のヒント： Resting allows the layers to set, making it much easier to slice and serve neat portions.
