Creating Classic Homemade Lasagna may seem daunting, but following these straightforward steps will make it a delicious reality. Here’s how to prepare it:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Noodles: In a large pot of boiling water, add lasagna noodles and cook as per package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Meat Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, followed by ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
4. Add Marinara Sauce: Drain excess fat from the meat and stir in the marinara sauce. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Make the Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until well blended.
6. Layer the Lasagna: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom. Place three lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella and a portion of meat sauce. Repeat layers two more times.
7. Top Layer: Finish with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, and a final layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
8. Cover & Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (avoid touching the cheese) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
9. Uncover & Continue Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.
