How to Make It

1. Step
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish lightly with nonstick spray.
2. Step
In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and marinara sauce.
3. Step
In a separate large bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
4. Step
Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 5 cooked lasagna noodles, overlapping as needed to completely cover the sauce. Spread 2 cups of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the remaining meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, and mozzarella to make 2 more layers.
5. Step
Bake the lasagna for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling up through the layers. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 1–2 minutes, until the top layer of cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Step
Let the lasagna cool for 30-45 minutes, then serve.
7. Step
Enjoy!
