1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2

Cook the ground beef and sausage in a large pot over medium heat; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, mushrooms, garlic salt, oregano, thyme, and basil; season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles with olive oil in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
4

Meanwhile, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
5

Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of meat sauce; place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread about 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles; sprinkle about 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese on top. Spoon about 1/3 of the meat sauce over the mozzarella. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
6

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles, about 90 minutes. If the cheese starts to darken too much, cover the lasagna with foil. Let it rest before serving for 10 to 15 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
