Ingredients

To make this easiest lasagna ever, you will need the following ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
2 cups ricotta cheese
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to put together your lasagna:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or sausage. Drain any excess fat and stir in the marinara sauce. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 3 noodles on top, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat these layers, ending with noodles and a layer of meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top layer of sauce.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (to prevent sticking, spray the foil with cooking spray) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Allow the lasagna to cool for 15 minutes before serving for the best results.

Now you have a mouth-watering lasagna that’s perfect for any occasion! Enjoy every layer of this cheesy, comforting dish!
