Homemade Lasagna Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.

Season the beef mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer.

In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.

To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, then top with a third of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of meat sauce on top.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the lasagna. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy!
