Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned; drain excess fat. Stir in marinara sauce and remove from heat.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of meat sauce (about 1/2 cup) in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Layer 4 no-boil noodles over sauce, breaking to fit if needed. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over noodles, then top with one-third of remaining meat sauce.
- Repeat layers: 4 noodles, remaining ricotta, half of remaining meat sauce.
- Top with remaining 4 noodles, remaining meat sauce, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15 minutes more until bubbly and golden.
- Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.
- Let the lasagna rest before cutting to help it hold its shape.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
