Prepare the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles, meat sauce, and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake the Lasagna
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 brown. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
