Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef or turkey
- 1 diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 28 oz (800 g) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
- Brown the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet until caramelized, about 8–10 minutes.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic; cook for 3–4 minutes more.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, sugar, and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine ricotta, egg, and Parmesan in a bowl.
- In a greased 9×13-inch pan, start with a thin layer of sauce.

- Let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For cleaner slices, let the assembled pan rest before cutting. Adding a broil at the end will give a nice golden top.
