Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups tomato sauce
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your lasagna will cook evenly.
2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
4. Mix in Tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Incorporate Tomato Sauce and Basil: Add the tomato sauce and fresh basil to the skillet. Stir until everything is well-combined, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Prepare the Noodles: While the meat sauce simmers, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
7. Assemble the Lasagna: In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce mixture on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Add another layer of the meat sauce, followed by a sprinkle of basil. Repeat the layering two more times, finishing with a generous layer of meat sauce on top.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to get bubbly and slightly crisp.
9. Cool and Serve: Once done, take the lasagna out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve with extra basil on top for garnish.

Classic Beef Lasagna: A Timeless Comfort Dish
Sure, here is the recipe converted to metric measurements following the format you requested:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 450 grams ground beef
- 480 milliliters diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 50 grams fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 480 milliliters tomato sauce
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 190°C. This will ensure a consistent cooking temperature for your lasagna.
2. Cook the Ground Beef: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook it until it is browned throughout, using a spatula to break the beef into smaller pieces. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic releases its aroma, being careful not to burn it.
4. Mix in Tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes to the pan carefully and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to combine and enhance the beef.
5. Incorporate Tomato Sauce and Basil: Pour the tomato sauce over the beef mixture, and sprinkle in the chopped basil. Stir everything until well combined and let it simmer gently for 5 more minutes, reducing slightly to intensify the flavors.
6. Prepare the Noodles: While your sauce is simmering, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside to cool slightly.
7. Assemble the Lasagna: Take a 23x33 centimeter baking dish and spread a thin layer of your meat sauce across the bottom. Lay 3 lasagna noodles evenly over this base layer. Add another layer of the meat sauce followed by a portion of the remaining basil. Repeat the layering sequence two more times, making sure the final top layer is a generous coat of meat sauce.
8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, sealing it along the edges to retain moisture. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. This will help the top brown and become slightly crisp.
9. Cool and Serve: Once the lasagna is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes to allow the layers to set. Cut into squares and serve warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
