Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 13×9 inch baking pan.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef.
- In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese until combined.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Arrange four lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping if necessary.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
- Spoon one-third of the remaining marinara sauce over the ricotta layer.
- Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layers: four more noodles, the rest of the ricotta mixture, another third of the sauce, and another third of the mozzarella.
- Top with the final four noodles, the remaining marinara sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown and crisp.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Using no-boil noodles simplifies this recipe greatly.
- For extra crispy edges, ensure the cheese and sauce reach the very edge of the pan.
- You can substitute Italian sausage for the ground beef for a different flavor profile.
