Ingredients

• 12 sheets Oven-ready lasagna noodles
• 24 ounces Marinara sauce
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound Ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Layer 4 oven-ready lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.

Step 7

Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and a layer of meat sauce.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, meat sauce) two more times, ending with a final layer of meat sauce on top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 12

Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
