Ingredients
Marinara Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 28-oz cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 sprigs basil
Meatballs
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup minced onions
Assembly
- 24 lasagna noodles, cooked 2 minutes less than package instructions
- 16 oz ricotta cheese
- 12 mozzarella slices, sliced in half
- Minced parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Marinara sauce:
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add onion and garlic and saute for 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove basil sprigs and set sauce aside.
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- In a small bowl, stir together breadcrumbs and milk and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir in ground beef, onions, and wet breadcrumbs. Combine well, but do not overmix. With oiled hands, roll the meat into golf-sized balls. Heat a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. Brown meatballs on all sides, then remove from pan.
- Ladle approximately ⅔rds of the marinara sauce into a 9x13” baking dish.
- Lay out a lasagna noodle horizontally on a cutting board. Spread a tablespoon of ricotta onto the noodle. Lay a mozzarella slice on one end of the noodle and place a meatball on top of the cheese. Roll up the noodle with the meatball and cheese inside. Place meatball bomb into the baking dish, with the meatball showing. Repeat with the rest of the meatballs and noodles.
- Bake dish for 25 minutes, until top is lightly browned and meatballs are cooked through completely.
- Remove from oven, garnish with parsley and serve with reserved marinara on the side.
