• Onion and garlic:An onion and two cloves of garlic are cooked with the meat to add tons of flavor.

• Sugar:Two tablespoons of white sugar add subtle sweetness and enhance the flavor of the sauce.
• Spices and seasonings:This lasagna recipe is flavored with fresh parsley, dried basil leaves, salt, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, and black pepper.
• Lasagna noodles:Use store-bought or homemade lasagna noodles.
• Cheeses:Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheese make this lasagna extra decadent.
• Egg:An egg helps bind the ricotta so it doesn't ooze out of the lasagna when you cut into it.
