Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 24 ounces Jarred marinara sauce
• 1.5 cups Water
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 9 sheets Box of oven-ready lasagna noodles
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir the marinara sauce and water into the skillet with the ground beef. Let it simmer gently while you prepare the cheese mixture.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Spread about 1/2 cup of the meat sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Place 3 sheets of oven-ready lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.

Step 7

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.

Step 8

Ladle 1/3 of the meat sauce over the ricotta mixture. Repeat these layers (noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce) two more times, ending with the meat sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer of sauce.

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 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 12

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