  • 1 lb ricotta cheese ( cottage cheese also works )
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the pasta sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
  • Stir well and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  • To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of meat sauce, lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Finish with a final layer of meat sauce and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
