Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Boil a large pot of water with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a smooth mixture.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them.
Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with one-third of the shredded mozzarella and one-third of the grated parmesan. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on top.
Repeat the layers (sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, parmesan, and provolone) two more times.
Finish with a final layer of marinara sauce and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional grated parmesan or fresh parsley, if desired.
