Recipe View In a large skillet, brown and crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the sliced black olives and warm water, then season with minced garlic, dried oregano, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, ground black pepper, dried sage, and a pinch of basil. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. Finally, stir in the marinara sauce and remove from heat. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

Recipe View Spoon a generous layer of the meat and sauce mixture onto the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with a layer of dry lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese evenly over the noodles, then sprinkle with a portion of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layering process, ending with a final layer of meat and sauce on top. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese for later. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes to ensure the lasagna is cooking evenly. The lasagna is done when it can be easily pierced with a knife. Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese over the top of the lasagna and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (Bake time: 55 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese between the layers.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to blend the marinara sauce before adding it to the meat mixture.
Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables, such as sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers, to the meat mixture.
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to hold its shape better.
