Ingredients
  

Main
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 jar 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet
  • Baking dish (9x13 inches)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling a large pot of salted water.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Place a layer of noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the ground beef, and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
  6. Add another layer of sauce, noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, remaining beef, and more mozzarella; repeat until all ingredients are used.
  7. Top with grated Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes.
  9. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let the lasagna sit for about 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Pair with a fresh salad and garlic bread for a complete meal. Letting the lasagna rest helps maintain its structure when cutting.
