Lasagna bolognese is a rich, delicious casserole, and a great way to feed a crowd. Assembling it takes a couple days of largely hands-off work. It's worth it.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lasagna noodles
  • 1 (16-ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
  • 4 oz. Parmesan, grated (about 1 cup), divided
  • Kosher salt and freshly grated black pepper
  • 7 c. (1 recipe) Bolognese Sauce
  • 12 oz. fresh mozzarella, sliced

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse. Lay noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet, separated by sheets of parchment paper. 

  2. 2

    Stir together ricotta, egg, parsley, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup Parmesan in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. 

  3. 3

    Spread 1/3 cup Bolognese sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with a layer of noodles (cutting to fit if necessary), one-third of ricotta mixture, and one-third of mozzarella. Repeat three more times until pan is full, ending with ricotta mixture and mozzarella. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.
