Here’s a mouthwatering image of the dish:
Before we dive into cooking, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Now that we have everything ready, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles on top.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of the ground beef and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Add another layer of sauce.
- Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining noodles, sauce, and topping with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
- Once done, let the lasagna rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the layers to set beautifully.
Serve this hearty lasagna with a side salad and some garlic bread, and enjoy every savory bite. Bon appétit!
