Just look at this Lasagna. You can practically hear it calling your name. It’s so cheesy that even the cheese is jealous of its own cheesiness!

Ingredients That’ll Make Your Taste Buds Dance

Gather these ingredients, and prepare yourself for the best lasagna of your life:

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions – Let’s Assemble This Masterpiece!

Now that you have everything you need, it’s time to unleash your inner chef:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
3. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat along with the chopped onion and minced garlic until the meat is cooked through. Drain excess fat.
4. In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until creamy and set aside.
5. In a large baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
6. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the mozzarella cheese. Then, add a layer of the ground beef mixture. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, topping with remaining marinara sauce and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
7. Cover the dish with foil (to avoid any cheesy disasters) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This is the hardest step, but trust us—it’s worth the wait!

Serve your lasagna with a side salad or garlic bread and dig in! Just remember, you might want to have a backup plate, because this is so delicious, you might just want to keep going back for more!
