Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 jar 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 container 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound regular lasagna noodles uncooked
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then drain excess fat and stir in marinara sauce and water until well combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread 1 cup of meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then layer with uncooked noodles, half of the ricotta mixture, and one-third of the remaining sauce.
  5. Repeat layers with noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, and half of the remaining sauce, then top with final layer of noodles and remaining sauce.
  6. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes, then remove foil, sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and bake uncovered for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
