• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray the 9”x13” casserole dish with cooking spray, and set aside.

Make cheese and meat sauce-

• Cook the pasta al dente according to the package directions. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil and saute the ground beef. Break apart the meat as it’s being browned. Add garlic, stir and cook for 30 seconds.
• Pour in the marinara sauce, and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until it comes to a soft boil and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Layer lasagna-

• In the baking dish, add a thin layer of the marinara mixture.
• Add 3 pasta noodles.
• Top with the cheese mixture and spread evenly. Then the measy sauce and finally shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat until you have four layers (one layer is noodles, cheese mixture, marinara and shredded cheese).
• Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake at 35 minutes. Remove the foil and cook an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese and sauce are bubbly and golden brown.
• Remove from then, cover back with the foil and allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes and set.
• Serve and enjoy.
