Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add crushed garlic and Italian herbs with salt and pepper, cooking until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour in the marinara sauce and let it simmer on low for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and a pinch of salt. Mix vigorously until well blended and smooth.
- In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top, followed by half of the cheese mixture, and then another layer of meat sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of meat sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Ensure it is evenly distributed for the best bubbling effect as it bakes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna rest for about 10-15 minutes before cutting. This helps the layers firm up for easier slicing.

Notes
For best results, layer wisely and avoid overloading. Check noodle doneness with a toothpick. Can be made ahead and frozen for later use.
