Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Brown the Beef. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once it’s browned, drain off any excess grease.
  • Sauté Aromatics. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Simmer the Sauce. Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Make the Cheese Mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  • Assemble the Lasagna. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Then, layer 3 no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, overlapping if needed. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat Layers. Repeat the layers: sauce, 3 noodles, remaining ricotta cheese mixture, 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  • Final Layer. Top with the final 3 noodles, remaining sauce, and the last cup of mozzarella cheese. Make sure everything is evenly distributed for the best results.
  • Bake the Lasagna. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  • Rest and Serve. Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. This allows the layers to set and makes it easier to slice.

Notes
