Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 15 oz Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 0.5 cup of grated Romano cheese, 0.5 cup of Fontina cheese, the egg, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 5

Place 4 lasagna noodles over the marinara sauce, slightly overlapping them to create a full layer.

Step 6

Spread one-third of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.

Step 7

Top with 1 cup of marinara sauce and sprinkle with a light layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with a final layer of marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, and Fontina cheeses evenly sprinkled over the top.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting into servings. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
