Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the marinara sauce into the skillet with the beef mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, half of the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create a creamy filling.
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar size. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce across the bottom of the dish.
Arrange a layer of wonton wrappers over the sauce, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
Spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the wonton wrappers, followed by a third of the meat sauce, and a third of the shredded mozzarella.
Repeat the layering process (wontons, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella) two more times, finishing with a generous topping of the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow the lasagne to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm.
