To the cooked meat, stir in the marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Layer the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce at the bottom. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of meat sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
