  • To make the ricotta cheese filling, you will need ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper.
  • To make the béchamel sauce, you will need butter, flour, milk, salt, and pepper.
  • When assembling the lasagna, layer the noodles, meat sauce, ricotta cheese filling, and béchamel sauce in a baking dish.
  • Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
