Simply lasagna
Recipe by1 lb. ground beef
2 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, divided
1 container ricotta cheese
½ cup parmesan cheese, divided
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 (26 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1. Preheat oven to 350. Brown meat in large skillet on medium high heat
Meanwhile, mix 1 ¼ cups of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, ¼ cup of the parmesan cheese, the parsley and egg until well blended; set aside.
Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Pour water into empty sauce jar; cover and shake well. Add to skillet; stir until well blended. Adding water to the sauce helps cook traditional noodles during baking, so you don’t have to cook them beforehand. This saves you 15 to 20 min. prep time.
Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce onto the bottom of 13x9 inch baking dish; top with a layer of 3 uncooked lasagna noodles. Noodles will expand to fit the dish during baking.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup of the meat sauce over noodles. Repeat layers two more times. Top with remaining 3 noodles and the remaining meat sauce.
Sprinkle with remaining 1 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese and remaining ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with greased foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking 15 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting to serve.
