• 1 (15 oz can) tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (divided)

✅Instructions

00:03:17 - Why it's important to simmer bolognese sauce for lasagna
00:03:57 - A hack to prepare lasagna noodles without boiling
00:07:42 - How to make and store lasagna ahead of time

1️⃣ 00:00:23 - In a large pot over medium heat, add in ground sausage and ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Add in onion and garlic and cook until meat is well browned, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar, fresh basil, fennel, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1-4 hours, stirring occasionally.

2️⃣ 00:03:57 - Meanwhile, place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a pan. Pour hot tap water directly over the noodles, making sure the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and discard water.

3️⃣ 00:04:51 - In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg. Refrigerate until ready to assemble lasagna.

4️⃣ Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan.

5️⃣ 00:05:21 - To assemble, spread about 1 cup of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Place 4 noodles on top. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1/4 of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Repeat layering two more times to create three complete layers. To finish, place a final layer of pasta, topped with another 1 cup of meat sauce to cover the pasta. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.

6️⃣ 00:07:24 - Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes to allow cheese to brown. Serve hot.

    God bless you for this recipe. My fam said it was the best they’ve EVER had. For anyone who doesn’t have all of the ingredients, don’t fret! I personally used Sazon seasoning instead of oregano, used one pack of ground beef (1.3 lbs) but no sausage, did not use fennel seeds, nutmeg, or sugar, & used regular parsley & basil rather than fresh ones, yet it still came out AMAZING!
  • I always read comments/reviews on recipes and I’m always skeptical for some reason. Especially for a good, authentic sauce/lasagna. I never write reviews either. This recipe was hands down the BESTTT lasagna and sauce recipe ever. I simmered the sauce for 4 hours and added rosemary, bay leaves, and some red pepper flakes. Absolutely incredible flavor. My roommate said it was better than his grandmothers who’s been making it for years. 100% recommend.

    I've been making lasagna 40 plus years. My daughter made yours (she never was into cooking) on the fly and my mouth dropped open. I just printed out your recipe and your spaghetti sauce recipe. A lot easier than what I go thru.

    Been making lasagne for quite some time now but adding ricotta cheese has been my new addition. I used to boil by lasagna sheets but when she said I could just soak em while I make my sauce I was mind blown! And it worked! It worked so well that I’m never gonna boil my lasagna sheets ever! The lasagna is in the oven at the moment, it smells divine. Can’t wait to dig in and also adding fennel seeds to the mince seems like a good idea. It made the mince smell and taste so good 👌🏼
  • I made this and hubby still thinks it's the best thing I ever cooked. I always come here everytime I make lasagna, to refresh my mind. 😊
  • Who is making lasagna today? I'm glad everyone is busy getting toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc. That way I can find the ingredients for my lasagna, lol 😆 😄
  • Love Rachel's no nonsense presentation and that she includes a written recipe WITH timestamps. Professional approach. Oh and this is a real good recipe, I'll agree a "Most Amazing Lasagna"! New Sub!
  • Seriously guys, this is hands down the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my whole life and that’s no exaggeration! I made this today for Father’s Day for my family and my dad and husband got so full and couldn’t move because they couldn’t stop eating it! It’s so true that the key is to let the sauce simmer, I cooked the sauce on the stove first for a hour and then after I simmered it in the crock pot for 2 hours on low and 2 hours on high! I didn’t add fennel seed but it was still so delicious!!!!!! Im still in shock how great it tasted you guys! Please please please try this recipe you won’t be disappointed!

    I've now made this, following your recipe, about four times and it has been a hit every single time. Despite the hearty nature and large portion, there has never been a time when I've had leftovers. Terrific video and your step by step instructions are perfect. Thank you for this great recipe.
  • Terrific recipe. It was absolutely delicious. I substituted the sweet sausage for mild. It was my first time making a lasagna with non store bought pasta sauce. The sauce was delicious and the family loved it. I also love how the video shows step by step instructions and how you are very straight to the point with your directions in this recipe. I look forward to cooking many more of your dishes !!
  • Someone made this at a get-together and I asked him to send me the recipe and I make this all the time now. Everyone says it’s the best lasagna they’ve ever had!! One thing I omit from your recipe is the fennel seeds and I always add about 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.
  • I just made this today. The only thing I changed was to substitute five bay leaves for the chopped basil (I just didn't have basil) in making the sauce, which I (of course) removed before adding to the layers. Delicious. Perfectly seasoned. It's definitely going to be in my cooking rotation now.
  • I love how you take your time and explain the WHY behind every step!! I'm making this for my husband's birthday this week!! Can't wait 😍
  • I think I would have sautéed the onions too and sweated then put with some salt and pepper, then putting in the garlic, then cooking the meat. That way you have beautifully Caramelized onions in your meat sauce that melt just into the sauce.
  • @missliz6361
    My friend is allergic to onions and this turned out fantastic omitting them. You can't get fresh parsley often where I live so I substituted dry (1 tsp dry for 1 tablespoon fresh) then added fresh spinanch for the fresh flavor) I simmered the sauce in a crockpot and it turned out exceptional. Thank you so much.
