Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, half of the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped basil until smooth.
  3. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Layer three cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  5. Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by one-third of the remaining sauce and one-third of the mozzarella.
  6. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with noodles, sauce, and remaining mozzarella on top.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top layer.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  10. Let the lasagne rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
