Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on a baking sheet to cool slightly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the marinara sauce, reserving 1 cup for the lasagna assembly. Simmer the meat sauce for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and half of the parsley. Mix until smooth.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the reserved marinara sauce at the bottom.
Layer 3 noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the meat sauce.
Sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella, provolone, and goat cheese evenly over the meat sauce layer.
Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, cheeses) two more times, finishing with a top layer of cheeses.
Cover the dish with foil, ensuring it doesn’t touch the cheese to avoid sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
