In this episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri visits a family-run Italian spot in Wheat Ridge, Colorado that started out selling food at local fairs and festivals. The food became so popular that they decided to open a permanent restaurant, and it’s no surprise why – their over-the-top Italian-American dishes are a hit with everyone who tries them.
One of the standout dishes at this restaurant is their massive lasagna, which Guy describes as “exactly the kind of lasagna I would expect to get at Grammy’s house.” This larger-than-life lasagna is a true comfort food classic, perfect for feeding a crowd or indulging in a hearty meal that will leave you feeling satisfied.
To recreate this delicious lasagna at home, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– Ground beef
– Italian sausage
– Onion
– Garlic
– Tomato sauce
– Crushed tomatoes
– Tomato paste
– Italian seasoning
– Sugar
– Salt and pepper
– Lasagna noodles
– Ricotta cheese
– Parmesan cheese
– Mozzarella cheese
– Egg

To make this lasagna, start by browning the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet. Add in the onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Mix in the tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for a delicious meaty marinara sauce.
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, and fresh parsley to create a creamy and cheesy filling for the layers of lasagna. Layer the meat sauce, lasagna noodles, and cheese mixture in a baking dish, repeating until you fill the dish.
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake in the oven until the noodles are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving, and enjoy a taste of this iconic dish that Guy Fieri couldn’t get enough of.
