Instructions
Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
⭐️Saute onions and garlic and brown the meat. Add olive oilto an extra large skillet. Once heated, add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the pork sausage and ground beef. Cook until browned. Drain if there is a lot of grease.
⭐️Add the tomatoes and spices. To the browned meat, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, sugar, oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well. Let simmer for 1 hour (or at least 30 minutes).
Assemble the lasagna. Start by spreading 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce into the bottom of the baking dish. Place 4-5 no-bake noodles over the meat sauce. Spread with 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Add another 1 1/2 cups meat sauce, no-bake noodles, the rest of the ricotta, and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Finish with the rest of the meat sauce, the rest of the mozzarella cheese along with the parmesan cheese.
⭐️Cover with tin foil and bake. Cover the lasagna with a piece of tin foil that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. This helps keep the cheese from sticking to the foil. Bake for 25 minutes covered. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
