A classic, easy-to-assemble lasagna with a creamy ricotta layer and melty mozzarella.
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time55 minutes
Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 48 oz spaghetti sauce
  • 30 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp parsley dried or finely chopped fresh
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 12 lasagna noodles regular (no-boil not required)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, grated Parmesan, parsley, and 1 cup of the mozzarella until evenly combined.
  • Spread 1½ cups of spaghetti sauce across the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Place four lasagna noodles over the sauce (most 13×9-inch pans fit three full noodles lengthwise and a broken piece across the width).
  • Spoon about one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and gently spread it to cover.
  • Top the cheese layer with 1 cup of spaghetti sauce, then add another layer of noodles and repeat the cheese and sauce layers once more.
  • Finish with a final layer of sauce and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella evenly over the top.
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Equipment

  • 13x9-inch baking pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • spoon or spatula
  • Aluminum Foil

Notes

  • Lightly greasing the pan prevents sticking.
  • Use broken noodles to fit the pan width if needed.
  • Letting the lasagna rest makes slicing cleaner.
