Nothing better than a homemade pot of sauce on the stove ready to become an even better Sunday Family Dinner Lasagna. I can make many of my Life Arsenal Recipes with my eyes closed. Lasagna was not one of those recipes UNTIL today. My very own version. You may note there are two pans; one for home and one for sharing. If you want to make just one (no fun) then you can cut the ingredients in half OR make a really big Hearty Lasagna with the specified ingredient quantities—as always the choice is yours! 😉
On a side note, my son and I don’t particularly care for the term “wheelhouse” so of course he will get the reference to this title right away. It is the little things we share with our families and the joys of home cooking that mean so very much, in this woman’s humble opinion! ♥
- 1 pound Ground Pork
- 1 pound Sweet Italian Sausage
- 1 pound Ground Turkey
- 2 28 oz cans Crushed Tomatoes Basil, Garlic & Oregano
- 1 6 oz can Tomato Paste
- 3+ tbsp Dried Parsely
- 1 32 oz container Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
- 2 Beaten Eggs
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 16 oz Mozzarella Cheese
- 16 flat Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles
- 1 medium Chopped White Onion
- 5 cloves Chopped Garlic
- In a large skillet brown your ground pork, sweet italian sausage and ground turkey with the onion & garlic. Drain the fat (if you want, fat is flavor) and add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and 2 tbsp of the dried parsley (crush it a little in your hand to release the oils before adding). Combine with the meat mixture and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes while you prep the rest.
- In a mixing bowl beat your 2 eggs with a whisk or fork. Add the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and the remaining tbsp of dried parsley (again rub in your palm first to release the oils) and combine.
- Start the assembly! Put a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of your lasagna pan. Add 6 lasagna noodles on top, overlapping if necessary. Add meat sauce over the noodles to cover all noodle surface. Add a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture on top followed by a sprinkle of the parmesan and half of the mozzarella. Repeat ending with the mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle a little parsley for color and flavor on top of the mozzarella.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Turn off heat and let the lasagna sit in the oven for an additional 10 minutes to rest.
- Last but definitely not least! Bring that Delish Lasagna out of the oven and again let it set for an additional 5 minutes or so. Plate on a festive plate and serve with a nice salad and beverage of your choice. Enjoy!
