Lasagna Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Ricotta Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh ricotta, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Layer the Lasagna
Spread a thin layer of marinara or bolognese sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of fresh mozzarella slices. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles topped with remaining sauce and a generous sprinkle of 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 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve
Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
