Ingredients
  

  • 1 box of Creamette Lasagna Noodles
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jar 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Large pot for boiling noodles
  • Large skillet (for cooking meat sauce)
  • Mixing bowls (for cheese mixture)
  • Aluminum foil (for covering lasagna while baking)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles: Boil water, add the Creamette lasagna noodles, and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. Make the meat sauce: In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in the marinara sauce, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Prepare the cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Layer the lasagna: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of noodles, then cheese mixture, followed by meat sauce. Repeat for 3 layers, finishing with meat sauce on top.
  6. Bake the lasagna: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  7. Rest and serve: Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

  • Tip: For a more flavorful lasagna, you can add Italian sausage or crushed red pepper flakes to the meat sauce for extra flavor.
  • Make-Ahead: This recipe can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Simply bake when you're ready to serve.
  • Freezing: You can freeze leftover lasagna for up to 3 months. Just ensure it’s tightly wrapped and bake from frozen, adding extra time.
