How to Make 10 Lb Lasagna

  1. **Tomato Sauce:**
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage and set aside.
  4. Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sauté 1 large onion, diced, and 4 cloves garlic, minced, for 5 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, and the cooked sausage.
  6. Add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 cup red wine (optional).
  7. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened.
  8. **Ricotta Cheese Mixture:**
  9. In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 large onion (minced), and 1 teaspoon dried basil. Mix well.
  10. **Assembly & Baking:**
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. In a large (9x13 inch) baking dish, layer 1/3 of the tomato sauce, then a layer of lasagna noodles (enough to cover the bottom).
  13. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
  14. Repeat layers twice more, ending with a layer of tomato sauce.
  15. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  16. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  17. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  18. Let stand for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
