The Most Amazing Lasagna
today on the stay at home chef i'm,showing you how to make the most amazing,lasagna,you guys should know by now that when i,call it the most amazing it truly is,this recipe for lasagna is full of,authentic flavor and homemade goodness,you're gonna love it we're gonna start,on the stove with some ground beef and,ground italian sausage you'll want to,add a pound of each so we have the,italian sausage,and then a pound of ground beef,into a large pot over medium heat then,grab a spoon and start breaking up all,of your meat and get it cooking,once you've broken it up a little bit,add in,one large white onion that you've minced,up,as well as,five crushed garlic cloves,stir this in and let it all cook,you'll want to make sure you cook the,meat through completely before moving on,to the next step we're creating a sauce,and so it's all about layers and adding,things in one at a time and creating a,delicious homemade creation it does take,some time but trust me it's worth it in,the end i used a 93 7 ground beef so,that it's nice and lean and doesn't,create too much fat and you can see,there's not a lot of fat in there some,of that is liquid from the onion that,has released,but we don't want to add too much fat to,this the fat that you're getting mostly,comes from the sausage,and we're not adding in any extra fat,either so it all balances out and it,works out in the end next we're going to,start developing even more flavors by,adding in a secret ingredient one,teaspoon of fennel seed this gives it,that truly authentic feel,sprinkle that in there,follow it up with one teaspoon of ground,oregano,do a half teaspoon of salt,a quarter teaspoon of pepper,two tablespoons of sugar,half a cup of freshly chopped basil,and a quarter cup,of freshly chopped parsley,i'll stir this in real quick,those fresh herbs add in a lot of flavor,and give this pasta a fresh homemade,feel follow that up with half a cup of,chicken broth a 28 ounce can of crushed,tomatoes,15 ounces of tomato,sauce and then this is a nice secret,weapon,two six ounce cans,of tomato paste,tomato paste has such a concentrated,flavor that we're able to add in a lot,of tomato goodness in here with just a,couple of ingredients we're really,making that tomato flavor come out,strong and bold when it comes to this,sauce,then we simply start stirring it and,bring it to a simmer,you can already see that this sauce is,super hardy and meaty and it smells,absolutely amazing once it comes to a,simmer it will reduce the heat to medium,low simmering is a time for your sauce,to develop a lot of flavor the,ingredients play off of each other and,release a lot of different complex,flavors as the heat is applied to it so,you'll want to make sure that you simmer,your sauce for a good period of time,you'll want to simmer it for at least an,hour and up to four hours for a really,developed flavor now if you don't want,to do this on the stove you can always,put it into a slow cooker on high and,let it develop flavor there you'll want,to give it just an occasional stir and,if it's in the crock pot you don't need,to stir it at all but this sauce is,definitely made with a little bit of,love and look at how delicious that,looks,while the sauce is over there bubbling,and boiling i want to show you one of,the coolest lasagna hacks ever you're,going to take your noodles and put them,into the bottom of a dish and i'm just,using a 9 by 13 pan you just want to,make sure that the noodles don't come up,over the sides and then you'll take some,hot water just as hot as you can get it,right out of the tap we're going to pour,this over our pasta,you want to add in enough,to cover all of the sheets of pasta so,it looks like i need just a little bit,more it took me about eight cups of,water to cover my pasta completely now,all i have to do is let this sit and,soak for about 30 minutes after 30,minutes my pasta will be softened enough,to layer in a lasagna dish no boiling,required it'll finish cooking in the,oven it's a perfect hack to save some,time when it comes to making homemade,lasagna while the noodles are soaking,and the pasta is simmering we'll go,ahead and put together our ricotta,mixture start with 30 ounces of whole,milk ricotta cheese and kind of break,that up there,you'll add in an egg,a half teaspoon of,salt a pinch or an eighth of a teaspoon,of ground nutmeg,and then about two tablespoons,of freshly chopped parsley then you just,mix this all together,all right now we'll keep this mixture in,the fridge until our sauce is done,simmering once the sauce is done we're,ready to layer our lasagna in addition,to what we've already made you'll also,need some sliced mozzarella cheese and,some freshly grated parmesan cheese and,make sure you use freshly grated because,the stuff in the little can just doesn't,melt nearly as well and isn't even,always real cheese we're going to start,layering our lasagna,by spreading about,a cup,of meat sauce,into the bottom,of a 9 by 13 pan and i'm using an extra,deep 9 by
