INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
    • 1 cup sliced black olives
    • ½ cup warm water
    • 🧄 2 tablespoons minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried sage
    • 1 pinch dry basil
    • 2 (14 ounce) jars marinara sauce
    • 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
    • 8 ounces ricotta cheese
    • 1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded

STEPS

1

Cook ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease.

2

Stir in olives and water; season with minced garlic, oregano, onion flakes, garlic powder, pepper, sage, and basil. Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes.

3

Stir in marinara sauce; remove from heat.

4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

5

Spoon a layer of meat and sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with a layer of dry noodles. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese over noodles; sprinkle with some mozzarella cheese. Cover with another layer of sauce; repeat layering, ending with meat and sauce on top. Reserve about 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes. Lasagna is cooked when it is easily pierced with a knife.

7

Sprinkle reserved mozzarella cheese over lasagna and bake until melted, about 10 minutes more.
