Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Cook the lasagna pasta sheets according to the package directions, then set aside.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
3
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned on all sides.
4
Stir in the tomato puree, salt, pepper, and oregano. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Begin layering the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagna pasta sheets, followed by more meat sauce, a drizzle of the cream mixture, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
7
Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used. Finish with a final layer of pasta sheets, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
8
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
9
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh salad or garlic bread.
