Best Easy Four Cheese Lasagna
Before we dive into cheesy heaven, let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this dish. Just look at this mouth-watering image!
Now that we’ve drooled over the image, let’s talk ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to create this masterpiece:
Ingredients:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Alright, now that we’re armed with our cheesy arsenal, let’s get cookin’!
Instructions:
- First things first, preheat that oven to 375°F (190°C). We want it nice and toasty for our lasagna.
- Next, boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until they’re al dente. Drain and set aside, trying not to eat them all at once!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, dried oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir until it’s creamy and the flavors marry like a happy couple.
- Now, it’s time to assemble! Start with a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Then place a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella!
- Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing off with a glorious top layer of marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and provolone cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil (don’t let it touch the cheese, unless you want a melted art installation) and bake for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, take off the foil and let that beautiful cheese bubble and brown for an additional 15 minutes. Watch it like a hawk, or you might end up with a crispy surprise!
- Let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist) before serving. Cut into squares and serve up that deliciousness!
And there you have it, folks! A lasagna that’s easy enough for anyone to master. Gather your friends, family, or even your pet (not really, please don’t feed them lasagna!) and dig into this cheesy delight!
