Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 16 oz whole-milk ricotta
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • Fresh basil, for serving

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high, 6-8 min. Add onion, cook 3 min, then garlic for 30 sec. Stir in marinara, tomato paste, oregano, salt, pepper. Simmer 10 min. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Mix ricotta, egg, Parmesan, and a pinch each salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. In a 9×13 dish, layer: thin sauce, 4 noodles, half the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, ⅓ sauce. Repeat. End with 4 noodles, remaining sauce, 1 cup mozzarella.
  4. Cover with foil, bake 25 min. Uncover, bake 15-20 min until bubbly and golden. Rest 10 min.
  5. Slice into squares and serve with fresh basil.

Notes

Let the lasagna rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing so the layers set and hold their shape. You can assemble it a day ahead and refrigerate, then add 10 minutes to the covered bake time.
