Zubereitung von Karen's Lasagna
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb Italian sausage (spicy or sweet), 1 large onion (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced).
- Sauté over medium-high heat until the vegetables are tender and the meat is browned, about 8-10 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 2 (24-ounce) jars of your favorite tomato sauce, 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes (undrained), and 6 tablespoons of tomato paste.
- Add 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1 green bell pepper (diced), 2 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3-5 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed throughout the simmering process (add more spices a little at a time).
- One hour before serving, stir in 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- While the sauce simmers, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Layer the lasagna in a 9x13 inch baking dish: a thin layer of meat sauce, a layer of noodles, a thicker layer of meat sauce, 1 cup cottage cheese, a thin layer of mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup shredded), and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, ending with noodles, a layer of mozzarella cheese, and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and some areas are lightly browned.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
