Dollop half of the ricotta mixture over pasta, and sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Spoon remaining pasta over mozzarella cheese. Spread remaining ragu over pasta mixture, and dollop with remaining ricotta mixture. Top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Cover lasagna with a large sheet of aluminum foil that's been lightly sprayed with cooking spray (to prevent the cheese from sticking to it).

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt to the boiling water and stir in pasta. Cook until just about tender to the bite, about 8 minutes (or 1 to 2 minutes less than package instructions).
  3. 3 At the same time, heat a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and beef and cook, crumbling with the back of a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and pepper flakes; cook until onion is translucent and softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. 4 Drain pasta and return to the pot. Add about 1/2 cup marinara; toss to coat and let sit until needed.
  5. 5 Add remaining marinara sauce to the browned meat mixture. Pour 1/4 cup water into each jar, shake to release any leftover sauce in the jar, and pour into the skillet. Stir and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Stir ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, basil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper together in a bowl.
  7. 7 Add 2 cups meat sauce to the pasta; toss to coat.
  8. 8 Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add ½ of the pasta mixture and top with 2 cups meat sauce. Lightly dollop and spread ricotta mixture over the top and sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese. Add remaining pasta mixture, remaining meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella on top. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each noodle into assorted desired shapes.
  2. 2 Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 3 inches into a Dutch oven; heat over high to reach 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Add 8 to 10 pasta pieces, one at a time to avoid them sticking together, and cook, lightly tapping under the oil and stirring with a spider tool occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a spider or tongs to a paper towel-lined sheet tray, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining pasta pieces, allowing oil temperature to reach back to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) before adding next batch.
  3. 3 Set an oven rack in the top third and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  4. 4 Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and ground sirloin; cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; cook stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute more. Stir in marinara sauce and remove from heat. Set aside.
  5. 5 Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until starting to bubble, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in milk, whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat, whisking often, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  6. 6 Arrange lasagna chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1/2 of the cheese sauce over top and evenly sprinkle with the sirloin mixture. Dollop with ricotta.
  7. 7 Broil in the preheated oven until ricotta gets brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with remaining cheese sauce, basil, and parsley.
