Put Cooking Oil in a Dutch oven, work your magic on the Ground Beef and Ground Pork until perfection. Season it up with a dash of Salt, Pepper, Basil, Oregano, Fennel Seeds, and crushed Red Pepper Flakes.

Pour in 6 cups of your go-to Marinara Sauce, letting it dance with the meaty goodness. Allow those flavors to waltz together, creating a symphony of taste.

While the sauce serenades, whisk up a creamy concoction with Ricotta Cheese, an Egg, and a sprinkle of Salt and Pepper. It’s the maestro behind the layers.

Cook your Lasagna Noodles al dente, laying them out like a culinary canvas. They’re the foundation for this masterpiece.

It’s time for the grand reveal. In a greased baking dish, start the masterpiece with a meaty layer, followed by noodles, the Ricotta mix, Provolone, Mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat until you reach the cheesy summit.

Cover your culinary creation with foil and let it perform in the oven at 375°F for 40 minutes. Unveil the magic, and let it bask for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese reaches a golden crescendo.

Like any maestro, your Meat Lovers Lasagna needs a moment to rest – a solid 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh Parsley and serve!
