Lasagna Ingredients

6 pieces Lasagna noodles

1 cup Ground beef

1 cup Ricotta cheese

1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

2 cups Marinara sauce

1 piece Egg

2 tsp Garlic, minced

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Meat Sauce

In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add the marinara sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until smooth.

Layer the Lasagna

In a small baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Place 2 lasagna noodles on top, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Add another layer of meat sauce, followed by 2 more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and another layer of meat sauce. Finish with the last 2 noodles, the remaining meat sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella and the rest of the Parmesan cheese.

Bake the Lasagna

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve

Allow the lasagna to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
