Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 24 ounces jarred marinara sauce
• 8 pieces no-boil lasagna noodles
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked ground beef. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Place 2-3 no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, breaking them as needed to fit.

Step 7

Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta, meat sauce) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
