Directions
Lasagna noodles
Add flour and salt to a large mixing bowl and mix to disperse
Add eggs and olive oil. If the dough is not coming together- add water one tablespoon at a time until a cohesive dough forms.
Using a dough hook or by hand, knead dough until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Cover dough, and let rest for 15 minutes. (Note: if you're a good multitasker- this is a great time to start your sauce)
Divide the dough in thirds. On a floured surface, roll each dough ball to about ⅛ inch thickness. Dust lightly with flour and cut into lasagna noodles (about 1.5’’ - 2’’). Gather the imperfect edges and reroll and cut. For a 9x13 dish- I find I end up using about 12 strips.
Meat Sauce:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, cook ground beef, Italian sausage, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
Add pasta sauce, and mix to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 2 cups mozzarella, 1 cup parmesan, eggs, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
In a 9″ x 13″ pan, begin layering your lasagna
