Layers of pasta, a slow-simmered meat sauce, and nutmeg-scented ricotta baked until bubbling - a classic crowd-pleaser that rests before slicing so the layers hold.
1.Brown the ground beef with onion and garlic, then stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste and simmer for 30-45 minutes until thickened and rich.
2.Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions.
3.Mix the ricotta with the egg, nutmeg, and half the Parmesan.
4.Layer noodles, meat sauce, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella in a baking dish, repeating twice more.
5.Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan, then bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes until bubbly; let rest for 15 minutes before slicing so the layers hold together.
