Ingredients: The Dream Team

Here’s what you’ll need to create your cheesy masterpiece:

9 no-boil lasagna noodles
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 egg
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar (about 24 oz) marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought, no judgment here!)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional, but it makes you look fancy)

Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). We want it nice and toasty because we’re about to create edible magic.
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, a sprinkle of salt, and pepper. Stir it like you mean it until everything is well mixed and ready to rock.
Grab a baking dish and spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom. This will be the delicious bed for our lasagna.
Lay down 3 no-boil noodles on top of the sauce. Don’t worry about perfection; this is lasagna, not a beauty contest!
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top it off with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and another cup of marinara sauce. Repeat this fabulous layering process until you run out of ingredients, but make sure the last layer has noodles topped with sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (shiny side down, because we want it to shine bright!), and bake for about 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell like a cheesy dream!
Let it cool for a bit. Then, sprinkle some fresh basil on top to make it look like you just stepped out of a cooking show.

Slice it up, serve it hot, and prepare for the compliments to roll in. Enjoy your lasagna with a side of humor and a big smile!
