Since I have been doing more and more work outside the home, my hubby has been stepping up to help with dinner several times a week. He likes to cook and he is very good at baking. The other night he decided to try his hand at lasagne and we ended up with a tasty combination 3 different family recipes. The dish was really cheesy, which kinda was an accident, but it turned into a plus! It also includes eggs, which was different for me. I have never eaten lasagne using eggs in the cheese. It made a lighter texture. The jury is still out on that for me, but the flavor was great. I thought you might like to try it too.
- 1 lb of Ground Beef
- 1/2 onion, Chopped
- 3 -15 oz. Cans Tomato Sauce
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Basil
- 1 tsp Parsley
- 1 lb lasagne noodles
- 2 eggs
- 1 15oz container Ricotta Cheese
- 1 lb of Shredded Mozzarella
- Container of Parmesan/Romano Cheese Blend
- Brown the beef and the onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the fat.
- Add in the tomato sauce and all of the seasonings except the parsley.
- Cook on Med-low for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile cook the lasagne noodles to al dente and drain
- Mix the Ricotta cheese and 2 eggs together in a separate dish and add parsley. Mix well and set aside.
- In a 9×13 pan or a lasagne pan, start layering your dish with sauce on the bottom, a layer of noodles, the ricotta mixture, a layer of mozzarella and then a few shakes of the Parm. Then Sauce, noodles, etc
- Continue layering the ingredients until the pan is full. Finish the top with Mozzarella and Parm.
- Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup and place the dish on the pan for cooking.
- Bake at 350 30-45 minutes or until bubbling.

My husband picked this recipe for dinner tonight! It was so yummy!
I’ve never made lasagna with eggs int eh cheese either, but I can see how it would fluff it up. I make a noodle-free Greek-style lasagna and then next time I do make it (probably next week) I will try eggs in the ricotta.
I loveo lasagne! This looks like a yummy recipe!
This is a great reminder that it’s been too long since I’ve made lasagne. I don’t think I’ve ever made it with meat in the sauce, but I love the idea and might incorporate it into my next batch. I do usually stir an egg or two into the ricotta; it firms it up a bit and makes it richer while holding it together (much like when adding egg to meatballs or meatloaf). I sometimes add spinach to the ricotta–I thaw frozen spinach and squeeze out all the extra liquid first.
Thank you, and your husband, too!
I love this but never could make it .
That looks good! I haven’t had lasagna in forever, I think I am going to make some soon.
Thanks for sharing.
This recipe is very similar to the one I already make. The eggs are to make sure the ricotta does not become too runny. We love it cheesy , but are not big fans of Parmesan. so we use Romano or cheddar.
I usually use a small amount of the Romano/Parm blend just for some additional flavor. have used Romano before but not Cheddar. Doesn’t that get too oily? I may have to try that. I love cheddar!!
I haven’t had lasagna in sooo long, I need to make it! I love cheesy ,the cheesier the better, and I’ve used eggs with the cheese and love it!!! Perfect thing to do in this cold weather, it will keep everything warm baking and then warm the tummy!!!
This is such a great recipe for me to try. I really love cheesy lasagna, and am going to make it for a Sunday dinner when my sister and her family comes over. Thanks for sharing. Yummy!!
Lasagna is always a good potluck dish since it looks great–like you really worked at it. I shouldn’t look at these yummy recipes late at night, lol. Time for some decaf coffee!
Heather, you are not the only one on the planet who hasn’t made it. This recipe looks so yummy.
Thats the way I have always made mine I put the eggs in with the ricotta or cottage cheese. Lasagna is so good anytime and foor us a favorite dish!
I have never made lasagne before I think I am the only one on the planet. I was just thinking yesterday that I wanted to make it and then today I see this recipe on your site that is so strange. I think I will give it a try sounds wonderful and the recipe looks nice and easy to follow I just need to get all of the ingredients. Thanks for sharing this one.
Heather, lasagne is easy to make. I felt the same way the first time I made it. Give it a try!
