– 1 lb ground beef – 1 small onion, chopped – 2 cloves garlic, minced – 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce – 9 lasagna noodles (cooked or oven-ready) – 15 oz ricotta cheese – 1 egg – ½ cup grated Parmesan – 2 cups shredded mozzarella – Italian seasoning, salt & pepper
Brown 1 lb ground beef with garlic and onion. Add 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes to build a rich, savory base.
In a bowl, combine 15 oz ricotta, 1 egg, ½ cup grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. This layer adds creaminess and depth.
Cook 9 lasagna noodles according to package instructions or use oven-ready noodles to save time—either option works perfectly.
In a greased 9x13 dish, layer meat sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest before slicing.
