    Cook the Noodles

    Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Meat Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion is soft. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned. Stir in marinara sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes.

    Assemble the Lasagna

    Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top, then half of the ricotta mixture, followed by a third of the mozzarella. Repeat the layers, finishing with meat sauce and remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
