Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb ground beef
• 24 oz marinara sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, toss with olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked ground beef and simmer on low for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Layer half of the cooked spaghetti evenly on top of the sauce.

Step 8

Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the spaghetti, followed by 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

Step 9

Repeat the layers with the remaining spaghetti, ricotta mixture, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

Step 10

Top the dish with the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
