Ingredients
- 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 15 oz ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and half of the marinara sauce. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese with one egg (optional), salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Lay three noodles side by side and spread half of the ricotta mixture over them, followed by half of the beef mixture.
- Top with half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers: noodles, ricotta mixture, beef mixture, and marinara sauce.
- Finish with remaining noodles topped with leftover marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Preheat grill to medium heat (350°F). Cover tightly with foil and grill for about 30 minutes; uncover for the last 10 minutes to brown the cheese.
