Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Boil the lasagna noodles (work in batches and stir well to avoid sticking) to very al dente (about 4-5 minutes). Scoop out sheets with a mesh strainer and shock in ice water. Lay flat the lasagna noodles on parchment paper or clean dish towels.

Step 2

In a large bowl combine all the ricotta mixture ingredients.

Step 3

In a 9 by 13 (or 10 by 15) baking dish place a drop of olive oil and wipe the bottom and sides. Next add a thick layer of meat sauce, completely coating the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 4

Place 6 lasagna noodles on the first level (they should slightly overlap). Spread a thick layer of the ricotta mixture onto the noodles, then layer ⅓ of the mozzarella, another thick layer of meat sauce, and finally ⅓ of the grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Step 5

Repeat the process on the next two layers. On the top layer just add the sauce, mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano cheese.

Step 6

Cover the lasagna with a lightly oiled tin foil cover or parchment paper then foil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Bake the lasagna covered at 375f for 45 minutes in the middle of the oven. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes more until the side noodles are crispy and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 8

After removing the lasagna from the oven, allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the lasagna to settle and will help prevent it from collapsing once you've sliced it.
