Step-by-Step Instructions for Make-Ahead Lasagna
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned, about 8–10 minutes; drain excess fat. Stir in marinara and pizza sauces, letting it simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread 1 cup of meat sauce onto the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer 4 no-cook lasagna noodles across the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture and another cup of meat sauce. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, then repeat layers until finishing with noodles, sauce, and mozzarella.
- Top with remaining meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove lasagna from fridge for 15 minutes, bake covered for 45 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Ensure the lasagna sits refrigerated for the full 8 hours or overnight. Cover with foil during the first part of baking to retain moisture.
