In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of making a meat ragu for lasagna that will have your taste buds singing. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (14 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Prepare the Meat

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat. Break up the meat with a spoon and cook until lightly browned. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté the vegetables until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Tomato Products

Return the browned meat to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, red wine, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 4: Season the Sauce

Add the dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper to the sauce. Stir everything together and let the sauce simmer over low heat for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 5: Assemble the Lasagna

Once your meat ragu is ready, it’s time to assemble the lasagna. Layer the meat ragu with lasagna noodles and your preferred cheese, such as mozzarella or ricotta. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients.

Step 6: Bake and Serve

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before serving.

There you have it! A delicious meat ragu is the secret to a mouthwatering lasagna that will impress your family and friends. Follow this step-by-step guide and soon you’ll be savoring every bite of your homemade lasagna. Remember, cooking is an art, so feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste. Enjoy!
