Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 9 no-boil (oven-ready) lasagna noodles
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder into the cooked beef.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until smooth.
- Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Arrange three no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping if needed.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
- Sprinkle one-third of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
- Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the cheese.
- Repeat the layers: three noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, another third of the mozzarella, and the rest of the meat sauce.
- Top with the final three noodles. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top layer of noodles, spreading it to cover the edges.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Gently press the edges down toward the pan sides to encourage crispy edges during baking.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. For crispier edges, bake for 5 more minutes uncovered if necessary.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the crispy corners!
Notes
- We recommend using no-boil noodles for the quickest assembly time, as Sara noted, speed matters!
- For extra flavor, use your favorite high-quality marinara sauce.
- If you want truly dramatic crispy edges, make sure the sauce and cheese slightly touch the sides of the pan.
- This recipe is perfect for improvising; feel free to add spinach to the ricotta mix.
