Preparation Steps
Season the Meat
Stir in salt, black pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano into the cooked beef. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, the egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Cook the Lasagna Noodles
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
Assemble the Lasagna
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Then spread half of the ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the meat mixture. Repeat this layering process, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Bake the Lasagna
Cover the dish with aluminum foil (to prevent sticking, spray the foil with cooking spray). Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let It Rest
Allow the lasagna to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the layers set and makes it easier to serve.
