Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 15 ounces No-salt-added tomato sauce
• 14.5 ounces No-salt-added diced tomatoes
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 medium Zucchini, grated
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Water
• 9 pieces Lasagne noodles, no-boil
• 15 ounces Part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Sauté for another 3 minutes until the onion is soft.

Step 4

Stir in the no-salt-added tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, grated carrot, grated zucchini, oregano, basil, black pepper, and water. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix well.

Step 6

To assemble the lasagne: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place three no-boil lasagne noodles on top.

Step 7

Add another layer of meat sauce over the noodles, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Repeat this layering process once more, using three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, another portion of meat sauce, and a third of the mozzarella.

Step 9

Top with the final three noodles, the remaining meat sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Ensure the foil does not touch the cheese to avoid sticking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving.
