Ingredients

  • 8-10 Sheets Lasagna Noodles
  • 1 Pound Ground beef
  • 24 Ounces Tomato Sauce
  • 2-3 Clove Garlic
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 2 Cups Ricotta cheese
  • 2 Cups Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ Cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 Teaspoon Basil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles in boiling water until they are 'al dente' or just tender. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cool water to prevent sticking.
  • While the noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break up the meat into small pieces with a spoon or spatula as it cooks.
  • Once the beef is cooked through and no longer pink, remove it from heat and drain any excess fat using a colander.
  • Add minced garlic, diced onions, dried oregano, and basil to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent.
  • Pour tomato sauce over the beef and stir until it is well combined. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of ricotta cheese with an egg and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  • Grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray. Spread half of the tomato sauce with ground beef mixture on the bottom of the dish.
  • Layer the cooked lasagna noodles on top of the sauce in one even layer. Cut noodles as needed to fit the dish.
  • Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the noodles. Then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  • Repeat the layering process, starting with the remaining meat sauce and then adding another layer of noodles, ricotta cheese, and shredded cheese.
  • Finish the lasagna with a final layer of noodles and cover them with the remaining tomato sauce and shredded cheese.
  • Cover the lasagna tightly with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
  • Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to give the sauce and cheese time to settle.
  • Serve hot with a side salad or garlic bread.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients, cook noodles until they are 'al dente', let lasagna cool before serving, store leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.
