• ½ lb ground beef
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 28 oz canned tomatoes, cut up (undrained)
• 12 oz tomato paste
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 ½ tsp dried oregano leaves
• ½ tsp fennel seed
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Cheese Mixture

Steps to Majesty – How to Make Creamette Lasagna

Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Meat Sauce

• The oven is preheated to 375°F.
• In a large skillet, Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic are combined. The mixture is cooked until the meat is browned and the onions are tender, then drained to remove excess grease.
• The tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, oregano, fennel seed, and pepper are stirred in. The sauce is brought to a boil, then simmered for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Lasagna Noodles

• If using regular lasagna noodles, a pan is filled with hot tap water, and the noodles are soaked until ready for layering.
• If using oven-ready noodles, they can be used directly without pre-soaking.

Step 3: Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

• In a medium bowl, ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and salt are blended together.

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna

• In a 13×9 inch baking dish, 1½ cups of meat sauce are spread evenly.
• One-third of the lasagna noodles are layered, followed by one-third of the meat sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella cheese, and Romano cheese.
• The layers are repeated two more times, ending with cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake the Lasagna

• The lasagna is covered with aluminum foil and baked for 25 minutes.
• The foil is removed, and baking continues for 20 more minutes until the top is hot and bubbly.
• If additional browning is desired, the oven temperature is raised to 500°F, and the lasagna is baked for a few extra minutes (checking frequently to prevent burning).

Step 6: Let It Rest & Serve

• The lasagna is left to rest for 10 minutes before slicing, allowing the layers to set properly.

Majestic Tips for the Perfect Creamette Lasagna

• Make-Ahead Tip: The Creamette Lasagna Recipe can be assembled a day in advance and stored in the fridge until baking.
• Storage: Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
• Freezing: This lasagna freezes well for up to 3 months. Simply wrap it securely in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
• Substitutions: Cottage cheese is a great alternative to ricotta if you prefer a slightly different texture.
• Reheating: For best results, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or use the microwave for a quick option.
