Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 24 ounces jarred marinara sauce
- 8 pieces no-boil lasagna noodles
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked ground beef. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place 2-3 no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them as needed to fit.
Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, meat sauce) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
