Ingredients

Scale

  3. 1 onion, chopped
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 cups marinara sauce
  6. 1 cup ricotta cheese
  7. 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  8. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook lasagna noodles al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in marinara sauce, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

  • Assemble lasagna:
    • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Arrange 4 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
    • Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.
    • Pour half of the remaining marinara sauce over the ricotta mixture.
    • Repeat the layers: noodles, ricotta mixture, and marinara sauce.
    • Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

  • Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can add additional herbs like basil or oregano to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • To make this dish ahead of time, you can assemble the lasagna and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.

 

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can replace the ground beef with sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
