Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the gluten-free lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well blended.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place 3 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.
Layer with another third of the sauce, followed by another layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and another cup of mozzarella.
Top with the last 3 noodles, the remaining sauce, and the last cup of mozzarella.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow the lasagna to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
