Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef or pork, stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Add 28 ounces of San Marzano tomatoes, 1 cup of red wine, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer on low for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 15 ounces of ricotta cheese with 1 cup of basil pesto and ½ cup of heavy cream. Whisk in one beaten egg and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a thin layer of the bolognese sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Lay down a first layer of lasagna noodles, then add a layer of pesto ricotta, followed by more bolognese sauce. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with bolognese sauce and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the assembled lasagna tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 60 minutes. For a golden top, broil in the last 10 minutes.
- Once baked, let the lasagna rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
