Lasagna With A Drizzle Of Ketchup Recipe

Preparation of Ingredients

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Finely chop the onion and garlic, and set aside. Prepare the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions, often meaning to boil them until they are just al dente. In the meantime, mix the ricotta cheese (сыр рикотта) with a beaten egg and season with salt and pepper.

Cooking the Meat

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat (beef or pork) until it's fully browned. Add in the finely chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they are soft and translucent. Stir in the tomato sauce, season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs (basil, oregano, etc.), and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Layering the Lasagna

In a baking dish, start by spreading some of the meat sauce at the bottom. Cover with a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta (сыр рикотта) and egg mixture, then a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of noodles covered in meat sauce and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (сыр пармезан).

Baking

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let the lasagna cool slightly before cutting into portions.

Final Touch

Right before serving, drizzle the top of each lasagna slice with a small amount of ketchup for that unique twist. Serve hot and enjoy the fusion of flavors.
