How to Make San Giorgio Lasagna Recipe?

Step 1:

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven reaches the correct temperature by the time you are ready to bake the lasagna.

Step 2:

While the oven is preheating, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the San Giorgio lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Continue to cook about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet to prevent the sauce from being too greasy.

Step 4:

To the cooked beef, add the jar of marinara sauce, stirring well to combine. Sprinkle in the dried basil, and dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 5:

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 large eggs. Mix until it becomes smooth. This mixture will add a creamy, cheesy layer to your lasagna.

Step 6:

Take a 9×13-inch baking dish and start assembling the lasagna. Begin with a thin layer of the meat sauce spread evenly across the bottom of the dish. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, covering the bottom completely. Next, spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of meat sauce. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce. Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7:

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from browning too quickly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted. Enjoy.

Some Tips!

  • Don’t forget to grease the bottom and sides with olive oil before assembling the layers. we don’t want our Lasagna to stick at the bottom.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles until they are just al dente. Because it will continue to cook when you bake the lasagna, so avoid making them too soft initially.
  • Make sure to season each component of the lasagna—meat sauce, cheese mixture, and noodles with salt, and pepper.
