Well there's no point in hiding it - Rose

The truth is that yesterday Annie and I went to Rosa's house .

So we agreed.

When we were sleeping, I suddenly woke up but didn't want to disturb Rosa so I just tried to fall asleep again but then Rosa whispered in my ear - Rose

I told her I will think about it and tell her the answer in the morning - Rose

So in other words Rosa is in love with you? Blake

Ingredients:

For the Meat Sauce:

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* 1 large onion, finely chopped

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 pound (about 450g) of ground beef

* 1/2 pound (about 225g) Italian sausage

* 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

* 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

* 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

* 1 teaspoon dried oregano

* 1 teaspoon dried basil

* 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

* 1/2 cup beef broth (optional, for a looser sauce)

* 1 bay leaf

For the Cheese Filling:

* 15 ounces (about 425g) of ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred)

* 1 large egg, lightly beaten

* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

* 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

* 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

* 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

For Assembly:

* 9-12 lasagna noodles (oven-ready or regular)

* 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions- Chef

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. The aroma will fill the kitchen, a subtle invitation.

Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the pot. Break them up with a spoon and cook until browned and no longer pink.

Drain off any excess fat.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, beef broth and bay leaf.

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover.

Let's let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally- Chef

Sure- Blake

Now let's Create the Comforting Cheese Filling.

 In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lightly beaten egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped fresh parsley. The ricotta provides a creamy, tender texture, while the Parmesan adds a salty, savory note. The egg helps bind the filling,

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

 Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce- Chef

 Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the noodles. This creamy layer adds a touch of tenderness.

Sprinkle one-third of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta. This cheesy layer adds that classic, melty goodness.

Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the mozzarella.

 Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, another one-third of the mozzarella, and the remaining meat sauce.

 Top with the final layer of lasagna noodles and the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Let's Bake for 45 minutes- Chef

Sure- Blake

Rose and Annie come there

Oo Blake are you cooking something? Rose

Lasagna - Blake

Cool, We would also like to eat it- Rose and Annie

Just wait a little more- Blake

Ok- Rose

Now Blake Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes- Chef

Now it's complete, Now Let the lasagna rest for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving- Chef

Sure - Blake

Blake sits down with Rose and Annie and they continue to watch some videos .

After 12 minutes

The chef cuts the lasagna and serves it to Blake, Annie and Rose .

Give me too- Hina

Sure- Chef

She serves the lasagna to Hina and herself too.
