Lazy girl lasagna ❤️
What you’ll need:
* 12 lasagna noodles uncooked
* 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
* ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese shredded and divide
* ¾ teaspoon salt more to taste
Tomato Sauce + ground beef
* ½ pound lean ground beef
* 1 yellow onion diced
* 2 cloves garlic minced
* 36 ounces pasta sauce
* 2 tablespoons tomato paste
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cheese Mixture
* 2 cups ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
* ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1 large egg beaten
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
* Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown the beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
* Stir in the pasta sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Taste and season with additional salt if desired.
* In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, ricotta, parsley, egg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
* Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in a 9×13 pan or casserole dish. Top it with 3 lasagna noodles. Layer with ⅓ of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup of meat sauce. Repeat twice more. Finish with 3 noodles topped with remaining sauce.
* Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end if desired.
