This lasagna is great and the sauce itself is awesome too. My husband told me that this sauce is better that the one I usually make and that one was from his mother’s recipe. This recipe makes a little more sauce that you need so I use the leftover for some pasta or ravioli few days later. I followed some suggestions from the previous reviews and from making this recipe few times here are some things I changed.
*Used 1lb each of beef and Italian sausage
*Used less salt (only about a teaspoon)
*Used only 1 tablespoon of sugar in the sauce
*Used wine instead of water
*Used fresh chopped basil instead of dry (about ½ cup)
*Used “ready to bake” lasagna noodles
*Used fresh deli grade ricotta cheese not the processed stuff from the container
*Used freshly grated Parmesan cheese
This is a 5 start lasagna recipe that it better than the one you order in the restaurant!! I often add spinach (fresh spinach wilted with some butter) to the ricotta cheese and it tastes great. Remember to always use as much fresh ingredients as you can – you will taste the difference (fresh ricotta and Parmesan, add fresh parsley and basil etc) Enjoy! Also, make the sauce a day earlier to save time.
