1 cup grated Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Prepare the Meat Sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the mixed herbs or Italian seasoning, chopped onion, minced garlic, chili flakes, and black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saut\u00e9 until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the ground beef or pork to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until browned and cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef or chicken broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring to a simmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season with salt to taste. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cook the Lasagna Sheets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook the lasagna sheets according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Assemble the Lasagna:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrange a layer of cooked lasagna sheets over the meat sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread half of the ricotta cheese evenly over the lasagna sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the ricotta cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat the layers: lasagna sheets, ricotta cheese, meat sauce, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Bake the Lasagna:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
