Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagne noodles
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 24 ounces Tomato sauce
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagne noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Mix well.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Layer 3 cooked lasagne noodles on top of the meat sauce.

Step 8

Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process two more times (sauce, noodles, ricotta filling, mozzarella). End with a layer of sauce and a generous topping of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure it does not touch the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Step 12

Let the lasagne cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
