Lasagna Assembly

Method
 

Prepare Meat Sauce
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Mix Cheese Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
Assemble Lasagna
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Layer 3 no-boil noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the cheese mixture, and a third of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles and remaining meat sauce on top.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
Serve
  1. Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
