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
• 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
• 12 oz/375 g fresh lasagna sheets
• 2 thinly sliced chili peppers (optional)
• 25 oz/700 g jar of passata (Italian pureed tomatoes)
• 1 lb of any Chorizo De San Manuel Mexican Chorizo

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.
