Lasagna Ingredients
Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Meat Sauce
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground chuck, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in marinara sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Mix the Ricotta Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
3. Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface to cool.
4. Assemble the Lasagna
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place three lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese, then more meat sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles, sauce, and a generous topping of mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Serve
Allow the lasagna to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
