Let’s get started

Step 1

Preparing the Ingredients:
– Chop the onion and bell pepper.
– Cook the lasagna sheets according to the package instructions or soften them in hot water.
– Grate the cheeses and set all ingredients aside.

Step 2

Making the Meat Sauce:
– In a pan, sauté the onion in olive oil until golden.
– Add the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
– Add the chopped bell pepper and tomato sauce, and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Layering the Lasagna:
Spread a layer of meat sauce at the bottom of an oven-safe dish.
– Place a layer of lasagna sheets on top.
– Add some meat sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
– Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 4

Baking the Lasagna:
– Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
– Bake the dish for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden.
– Let it rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven, then serve.

Additional Tips:

1. Prevent a watery lasagna: Ensure the meat sauce is not too runny before layering. If using no-boil lasagna sheets, keep the sauce slightly thinner so the pasta absorbs enough moisture to cook properly.
2. Finish with butter and extra cheese: Before the final bake, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle extra Parmesan for a beautifully golden crust.
