3. Directions:

3.1 Preheat

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

3.2 Prep

Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

3.3 Stove

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and a few sprays of nonstick cooking spray to the water. Once boiling, add the lasagna to the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 9-10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a large colander, and rinse thoroughly with cold water. While the pasta cooks, prepare the meat sauce.

Spray an extra-large skillet generously with nonstick cooking spray, then set over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until thoroughly browned, 5-6 minutes.

Drain the fat from the skillet. Return the skillet to the stove, and turn the heat to medium-low. Pour the marinara sauce over the meat and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes. While the sauce simmers, prepare the cheese mixture.

3.4 Prep

Place the ricotta, grated Parmesan, egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, and mozzarella cheese in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula to thoroughly combine.

To assemble the lasagna, spoon 1/2 cup of the meat sauce into the baking dish to cover the bottom. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce. Drop 1/3 of the ricotta mixture by spoonfuls over the noodles, and gently spread it into an even layer. Spoon 1/4 of the remaining meat sauce over the ricotta. Repeat the layering process two more times. Place the last 3-4 lasagna noodles over the top of the dish, and cover with the last 1/4 of the meat sauce. Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese in an even layer over the top of the lasagna.

Cover the baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil.

3.5 Oven

Bake the lasagna on middle rack of oven for 40 minutes.

Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until cheese on top is golden brown and dish is bubbling at the edges, about 15 minutes.

3.6 Check

Check to see that lasagna is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

3.7 Serve

Allow the lasagna to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
