While other lasagnas are good this one is better! For this one, you will want to add something that is not in many other lasagna recipes. It's not something that your Italian grandmother did but its something that everyone will thank you for.
For this step you will need:
- 20-24 slices bacon!
Yes, you read that correctly. I know it seems like a lot of bacon but trust us you will use every single slice.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- Line your prepared loaf pan with bacon, creating a circular pattern, with one end of each bacon slice meeting in the middle, and the other ends fanning around the pan in a sun-shape.
- To make the ricotta filling, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the ricotta, ½ cup of the mozzarella, parmesan, and 2 eggs until well-combined.
- Start assembling the lasagna by placing a lasagna sheet in the pan, then top with one-quarter of the meat sauce, one-quarter of the ricotta mixture, a sprinkling of the remaining mozzarella. Repeat this 3 more times until all lasagna sheets have been used, and the top layer is mozzarella.
- Once all layers are in the pan, begin folding the ends of the bacon over to completely cover the top of the lasagna.
- Bake 45 minutes-1 hour, or until the bacon is crisp. Scoop out excess grease periodically while cooking. Let stand 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and slice. Enjoy!
