Easy Lasagna Recipe
Description
The Easy Lasagna Recipe begins by combining ricotta cheese with eggs, Parmesan, parsley, and some mozzarella cheese to make a creamy cheese mixture. In a baking dish, a base of spaghetti sauce is spread followed by noodles placed to cover the sauce. Cheese mixture and sauce are layered alternately two more times, finishing with a final layer of sauce and shredded mozzarella on top.
Baking at 350°F covered with foil for 45 minutes ensures the pasta cooks through and flavors meld. Removing the foil for the last 10 minutes gives the top a slight golden finish. Letting the lasagna rest for ten minutes before serving helps it set and makes portioning easier.
The result is tender noodles and a creamy cheesy texture integrated with tangy tomato sauce. This classic lasagna suits a family meal or casual dinner.
Ingredients
- 48 oz spaghetti sauce jar
- 30 oz ricotta cheese
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tsp parsley dried or finely chopped
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese grated
- 12 lasagna noodles do not need to be "no bake", regular are fine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley and one cup of mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
- To assemble lasagna, place 1 and 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Gently place four lasagna noodles onto sauce. Most 13x9 inch pans will fit three noodles length (13" side) wise, and a shorter, broken noodle width (9" side) wise.
- Add approximately 1/3 of the cheese mixture to the top of the noodles, and gently spread across noodles. Top cheese with 1 cup of sauce, then noodles, then cheese again. Repeat one more time, finishing with a final layer of sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand for ten minutes prior to serving.
