In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook Lasagna Noodles

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella (reserve some for topping), grated Parmesan, eggs, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Prepare Cheese Mixture

Spread a layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer noodles, cheese mixture, and remaining noodles until all ingredients are used, finishing with noodles on top. Spread reserved mozzarella on top of the last layer. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

Assemble Lasagna

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

Prepare Breading Station

Once the assembled lasagna has set, cut it into squares. Dip each square first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Bread the Lasagna

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the breaded lasagna squares in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Lasagna

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, black pepper, chopped basil, and sugar. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
