Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups grated mozzarella
- 1 2 lbs/1 kg ricotta cheese
- 2 lbs/1kg lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon salt and pepper
- 2 cans (14oz/400g) tomatoes
- Half cup of fresh oregano leaves

Directions
- Carefully remove the cases around our Mexican chorizo.
- Dice the Mexican chorizo into small pieces.
- Cook the chorizo and lean ground beef in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Fry for 10 minutes until the beef is thoroughly cooked. Do not add oil to the saucepan, as the chorizo will release oil. Drain any excess oil.
- Add the garlic, chili peppers, and fresh oregano leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes. Save some oregano to garnish the lasagna before serving
- To complete the meat sauce, add the canned tomatoes, passata, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the liquids start reducing.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ∞F.
- Mix ricotta and the shaved parmesan cheese in a bowl
- Use a 13×9-inch baking dish to build your lasagna.
- Start by spreading 1 cup of your meat sauce across the base of the baking dish. Top with a layer of fresh lasagna sheets
- Spoon half of the ricotta mixture and spread evenly. Add another layer of lasagna sheets
- Spoon half of the meat mixture and cover with another layer.
- Repeat with another layer of ricotta and pasta, then the meat again.
- Sprinkle with grated mozzarella and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh oregano leaves. Allow lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
