Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add ground meat and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

  5. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, adjusting or breaking them to fit.
  6. Add a layer of cooked meat, followed by ricotta, mozzarella, and a small amount of sauce.
  7. Repeat layers of noodles, meat, cheese, and sauce until all ingredients are used.
  8. Finish with a layer of sauce and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  9. Pour water around the edges of the pan to help cook the noodles.
  10. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  11. Remove foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Oven-ready noodles can be used to save time
  • Resting the lasagna helps it hold its shape when cut
  • Add vegetables or adjust seasoning to your taste
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days
