Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 48 ounces marinara sauce your favorite sauce
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded asiago cheese
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 12 pieces lasagna noodles

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for about five minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  5. Layer three no-boil noodles at the bottom of the baking dish, spread one-third of the ricotta mixture, followed by mozzarella, asiago, provolone, and 1½ cups of meat sauce. Repeat these layers two more times.
  6. For the final layer, place the remaining noodles, top with leftover meat sauce, and sprinkle all remaining shredded cheeses and grated Parmesan on top.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
