Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets no-boil lasagna noodles
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 16 oz ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lb ground beef (optional)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using ground beef, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain any excess fat.
In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom to prevent sticking.
Place a single layer of no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them as needed to fit.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the cooked ground beef (if using), and 1/3 of the remaining marinara sauce.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, beef, sauce, mozzarella) two more times until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Lazy Lasagna!
