Ingredients That Say ‘Yum!’

Gather these simple ingredients to make your lasagna a hit:

9 lasagna noodles
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 jar (about 24 oz) marinara sauce
1 egg
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)

Time to Assemble – Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that you’ve got the ingredients, it’s time to put on your chef hat and create a masterpiece:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This is where the magic begins!
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drizzle a bit of olive oil to keep them from sticking.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy – like a cheesy cloud!
Spread a ladle of marinara sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Just enough to make it cozy for those noodles.
Layer 3 noodles over the sauce. Next, spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Repeat the layering process: sauce, noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan until you run out of ingredients! Be sure to save some mozzarella and Parmesan for the top layer.
For the grand finale, smother the top layer with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with the reserved mozzarella and Parmesan. It’s like a cheesy hat!
Cover with aluminum foil (don’t let it touch the cheese) and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Your home will smell like a pizza paradise!
Once baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes. This is the hardest part, but trust us, it’s worth the wait. Slice, serve, and watch those smiles light up!

This Classic Three Cheese Lasagna is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family dinner or a cozy night in. Enjoy with fresh basil on top and a side salad for a delightful meal. Bon appétit!
