Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained of fat
4 cups marinara sauce
4 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
2 cups grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
15 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instrucions
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish lightly with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and marinara sauce.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  • Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 5 cooked lasagna noodles, overlapping as needed to completely cover the sauce. Spread 2 cups of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the remaining meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, and mozzarella to make 2 more layers.
  • Bake the lasagna for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling up through the layers. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 1-2 minutes, until the top layer of cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 30-45 minutes, then serve.
  • Enjoy!

This lasagna is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I snuck some spinach into the sauce and my kids didn't even notice.

This lasagna is a great way to use up leftover pasta sauce. I had some leftover marinara sauce and it worked perfectly in this recipe.
