• Canned crushed tomatoes - 400 grams

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.
4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until sauce thickens.
5. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
6. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Layer 2 sheets of gluten-free lasagna noodles over the sauce.
7. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
8. Repeat the layering process: noodles, ricotta, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Finish with a final layer of noodles topped with remaining meat sauce and mozzarella.
9. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Let the lasagna cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
