Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion about 1 small onion
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 (6.5-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan
- 1 large egg
- 4 medium-sized thinly sliced length-wise zucchini
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 x 13 x 2 or 3-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- Heat a 12 or 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 cup diced onion . Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add 1 pound ground beef and 1 pound Italian sausage. Cook for 7-10 minutes, until no pink remains and it is fully cooked, breaking up the meat while it browns. Drain the fat from the pan.
- Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 (6.5-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste, 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 3-4 minutes, until heated through.
- Add 16 ounces ricotta cheese, ½ cup finely grated parmesan, and 1 large egg to a medium bowl and mix until combined.
- Assemble the lasagna by spreading 1 cup of the sauce evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange some of the 4 medium-sized thinly sliced length-wise zucchini in a single layer over the sauce. Spread ½ cup of the ricotta mixture on top of the zucchini, followed by half of the 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers in the same order, finishing with the second half of the mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until it is heated to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit and the cheese is bubbly. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
