Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles (no-boil type)
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 24 ounces Jarred marinara sauce
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked ground beef and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
Place 3 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping them.
Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by 1/4 of the meat sauce.
Repeat the layers (noodles, cheese mixture, meat sauce) two more times. Finish with a layer of noodles, topped with the remaining meat sauce.
Sprinkle the top evenly with the remaining 2 cups of shredded mozzarella.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, making sure it does not touch the cheese, to prevent sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious, hassle-free lasagna!
