Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 1 pound Ground beef or Italian sausage
• 4 cups Marinara sauce
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 4 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Brown the ground beef or Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and stir in the marinara sauce. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Layer 3 uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Do not overlap them.

Step 6

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then top with 1 cup of meat sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, mozzarella) two more times.

Step 8

For the final layer, add 3 noodles, the remaining meat sauce, and the remaining shredded mozzarella on top.

Step 9

Pour 1 cup of water around the edges of the lasagna to ensure the noodles cook evenly.

Step 10

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 12

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