Method
Preparation of Meat Sauce
Cook the Meat
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Prepare Sauce
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preparation of Cheese Mixture
Mix Cheese Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Stir until well blended and set aside.
Assembly
Layer the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, then spread a layer of the cheese mixture, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with meat sauce on top.
Add Mozzarella
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top layer of meat sauce.
Baking
Cover and Bake
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Finish Baking
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
Cool and Serve
Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
