Ingredients

• 9 sheets No-boil lasagna noodles
• 48 oz Marinara sauce
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 15 oz Ricotta cheese
• 3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the minced garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in 32 oz of marinara sauce with the cooked beef and simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and the egg. Mix until well blended.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce (from the remaining 16 oz) on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Layer 3 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 7

Spread a third of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles, followed by a third of the meat sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Repeat this layering process two more times (noodles, ricotta, meat sauce, mozzarella).

Step 9

Top the final layer with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Cover the dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil doesn’t touch the cheese to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, covered.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 13

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
