The Method of Preparation
-
As the first thing, you should know how you are going to prepare meat sauce. To do that, you should cook sausage and ground beef at a medium temperature. You are doing this with the objective of removing excessive fat in the food. Then you can add garlic and tomato and mix the ingredients. After mixing for some time, you can add water along with water if required. Now you need to bring the mixture to a slimmer and let it stay for a couple of hours after reducing the heat.
-
Once meat sauce is prepared, you will be able to go ahead with the preparation of noodles. You need to take a large bowl in order to do that. In the large bowl, you must combine cream cheese, eggs and Italian seasoning. To the same mixture, you will need to add onion and garlic as well. You can take a hand mixer and mix it for a couple of minutes. Once you feel that the mixture has become smooth, you can stop mixing. Then you should fold Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese and add to the mixture. The mixture should then be laid on top of a cookie sheet and kept inside an oven that is heated for a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You should keep it for a period of about 30 minutes.
-
Now you have come to the final, but most important step, which is about building the lasagna. You need to pour meat sauce that you have prepared into a casserole dish. Then you need to add a noodles layer. You must repeat this process for one more time. But you need to put noodles first. Once you complete adding the second layer of Mozzarella Cheese, you need to add another layer of sauce. The top should be filled with remaining sauce and noodles.
-
You should now place lasagna inside a preheated oven. The temperature should be 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need to bake your lasagna for a period of around 45 minutes. When you see that it has become bubbly, you can take out of the oven. Now you should add the remaining amounts of Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella cheese you have to the top. After doing that, you should bake it for another 20 minutes. Then you can let cheese melt and turn into golden brown color. Once it is done, you can keep lasagna for 15 minutes and enjoy it.
