Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound Italian pork sausage, casings removed
1 pound ground beef
½ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
½ cup vegetable broth
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
2 cups chopped kale
1 egg
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cook and stir Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic together in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until meats are browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine ricotta cheese, kale, and egg in a bowl.
  • Layer lasagna in a 9x13-inch pan starting with a small amount of meat sauce and noodles, followed by 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, more noodles, and most of remaining meat sauce. Continue with Parmesan cheese, noodles, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining noodles, and remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, 30 to 45 minutes. Let cool and set up for 10 minutes before cutting.
