Ingredients

  • 1 package of lasagne noodles
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 1/3 finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Maggi sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • tomato sauce or paste
  • 4 chopped tomatoes
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • 1 bell pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare pasta water: Place water and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil. It will take some time, so prepare the sauce with the ground meat in the meantime. Wait for the pasta water to boil.
  • Season the ground beef: Prepare the ground beef before cooking it. Combine ground garlic, a pinch of minced black pepper, Maggi sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Combine the ground beef and seasonings.
  • Cook the ground beef: Preheat vegetable oil in a large skillet, then add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then add the seasoned ground beef and stir fry until it begins to brown. Following that, add the chopped red bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Simmer the sauce with the ground beef for a few minutes longer, until it is boiling.
  • Boil the lasagna noodles: When the pasta water is boiling, add the noodles and cook until al dente. Stir occasionally to ensure they are not sticking. To prevent sticking, add 2 tablespoons of oil when the pasta water comes to a boil. Drain the water once the lasagna noodles are al dente. Allow them to drip into a colander and cool. If the lasagna noodles are still stuck together, separate them.
  • Arrange the lasagna: Assemble the lasagna noodles in one layer in a casserole or lasagna dish. Drizzle Mozzarella, Ricotta, and Parmesan cheese over that layer of noodles. Over the noodles, ladle a cup of ground meat.
    Then, on top of it, add a second layer of noodles. Continue to add more Mozzarella, Ricotta, and Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Then another layer of ground beef.
    If there are any leftover ingredients, repeat the process. As the last layer, add the three types of cheese. Carefully cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the lasagna for 30 minutes. Before the timer runs out, check to see if it's done with a fork. This lasagna is done when a fork easily slides through it. If you want the top of the lasagna to be crunchy, uncover it for the last few minutes of baking.
    Because the noodles can dry out and lose moisture, and the cheese cooks faster than the other ingredients, do not uncover them from the start.
  • Serve: When the cheese begins to bubble and brown, remove it from the oven. Let cool before serving.
