Ingredients

• 12 oz Egg noodles
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 24 oz Marinara sauce
• 1.5 cups Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the marinara sauce and dried Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, and remove from heat.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, the egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, begin layering the lasagne: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Add a layer of cooked egg noodles over the meat sauce, followed by dollops of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella over the top.

Step 9

Repeat the layers (meat sauce, egg noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella) until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella on top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Let the lasagne rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 13

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Quick Egg Noodle Lasagne!
