San Giorgio Lasagna Recipe

This San Giorgio lasagna is thick, hearty, and layered the way homemade lasagna is supposed to be. Tender boiled noodles hold together rich meat sauce made with Italian sausage and ground beef, simmered with onions, garlic, and seasoning. The ricotta layer is smooth and flavorful, mixed with eggs, Parmesan, basil, and parsley so it’s never bland. Each layer is built generously, with plenty of sauce to keep everything moist and plenty of cheese to give you that golden, bubbly top.

Method
 

  1. Boil the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook San Giorgio lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain, rinse briefly with cold water, and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Prep the aromatics: Dice 2 onions and mince 3 cloves of garlic. Toss them with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cook the onions and garlic: Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic mixture and cook until softened and lightly browned.
  4. Brown the meat: Add 1 part Italian sausage and 2 parts ground beef. Cook until browned but not overcooked.
  5. Make the ricotta mixture: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 3 eggs, salt, pepper, basil, parsley, and 2 cups grated Parmesan. Mix until smooth.
  6. Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Start layering: Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, then a generous layer of ricotta mixture, followed by meat, mozzarella, and marinara sauce again.
  8. Repeat layers: Continue layering noodles, ricotta, meat, mozzarella, and sauce until the dish is full. Finish with sauce on the top layer.
  9. Bake covered: Cover loosely with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes (about 1 hour if thick).
  10. Add final cheese and rest: Remove foil 10 minutes before done, sprinkle mozzarella on top, and bake until melted and lightly browned. Let rest 15–20 minutes before slicing.
