🕰️ A LITTLE HISTORY
Lasagna is one of the oldest pasta dishes in the world, rooted in Italian home cooking where recipes were passed from one generation to the next. Every family had its own version—more sauce, more cheese, slow-cooked or baked fast—but the heart was always the same: simple ingredients, cooked with patience and care. This version has been perfected over decades and shared with friends, family, and anyone lucky enough to be at the table.
🧾 INGREDIENTS
For the meat sauce
1 lb (500g) ground beef (or beef & pork mix)
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (24 oz) tomato sauce
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp sugar (optional)
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
2 tbsp olive oil
For the layers
Lasagna noodles (cooked or oven-ready)
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 egg
