Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 24 ounces Marinara sauce
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Egg
- 9 sheets Oven-ready lasagna noodles
- 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, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Stir the marinara sauce into the skillet with the browned beef. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place 3 sheets of oven-ready lasagna noodles over the sauce, spaced evenly. Do not overlap.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the meat sauce.
Repeat layering: noodles, ricotta mixture, and meat sauce, two more times, finishing with meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over the top layer of meat sauce.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil (to prevent it from sticking, you can spray the underside of the foil with cooking spray).
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
