Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef1 small onion diced2 tbsp oregano dried1/2 tsp salt or to taste1/2 tsp pepper or to taste24 oz marinara sauce 1 jar/680 g1 cup water15 oz ricotta cheese2 eggs1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated12 lasagna noodles2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
  • In a sauce pan or skillet, cook the ground meat until no longer pink. Add chopped onion, 1 tbsp of the oregano, salt, pepper and continue cooking until onion is cooked through and translucent.
  • Add the marinara sauce to the skillet and the cup of water. Stir and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese, 1 tbsp oregano, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • In a baking dish that’s about 9×13 inches, start assembling your lasagna. I usually start with a couple ladles of the sauce at the bottom, this is especially necessary now that the noodles aren’t cooked. Lay 3 lasagna noodles over the meat sauce. Next layer with ricotta mixture and about 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Add another 3 lasagna noodles, meat mixture, ricotta mixture, mozzarella. Repeat until you have 4 layers of noodles, and end with ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the oven for about an hour. It will take the entire hour for the noodles to cook. You may try with a fork to ensure noodles are cooked.

Notes

Be sure this dish is properly cooled before being stored so that it will freeze and store evenly. It will stay fresh for 3 – 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Frozen lasagna will last for 2 – 3 months, just be sure to allow to thaw fully in the fridge before re heating.
Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
