Preparation – 10 minutes

Start by dicing the onion. Finely chop the four cloves of garlic and set them aside. Chop up the fresh basil and the parsley if you want parsley into the Italian lasagna. Crack the eggs in a bowl and add about 1/4th of the cheese.

Season with pepper and salt and whisk well. Preheat your oven to a temperature of 200 degrees celsius or 400 fahrenheit.

Cooking the Italian lasagna sauce – 40 minutes

Take a skillet, add in some olive oil and put it on a medium-low fire. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes (or when tender) on medium-low fire when the oil is hot enough.

Add the minced beef with the chopped garlic and occasionally stir for about 10 minutes or when the beef is no longer pink but brown. Add in the two cans of diced tomatoes and add some salt and pepper to taste. Stir the sauce until thoroughly blended.

Take the skillet off the fire. Grease a 13 by a 9-inch baking dish with a stick of butter. This will prevent the lasagna from sticking to the baking dish later on! arrange lasagna sheets to cover the baking dish's bottom part.

Add a layer of italian lasagna sauce and half of the whisked eggs and cheese. Repeat for the next layer too.

The composition should be lasagna sheet, sauce, and sauce. Ensure you are not adding a sheet of lasagna to the top of the baking dish.

If you do so, you can risk the italian lasagna having a burned top part. Although the italian lasagna sauce is time-consuming and labour-intensive, it is truly worth the extra effort.

tip: make the sauce beforehand to cook a homemade lasagna in about 50 minutes instead of 95 minutes!

Baking the Italian lasagna – 45 minutes

Put the baking dish into the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Depending on the type of oven you have, you should check if the dish isn't going to burn.

The italian lasagna will be ready in about 45 minutes. Enjoy your meal!
