A simplified yet flavorful lasagna recipe perfect for busy days.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture for the lasagna.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a greased baking dish.
This prevents the noodles from sticking to the dish.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping them.
Ensure the noodles are evenly spaced for consistent layering.
Spread a portion of ricotta cheese over the noodles, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Use a spatula to evenly distribute the cheese for a uniform layer.
Pour marinara sauce over the cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Ensure the sauce fully covers the cheese to keep the lasagna moist.
Repeat the layers (noodles, cheeses, sauce) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce.
Press down gently on each layer to compact the lasagna for even cooking.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of sauce.
The Parmesan will create a golden, crispy topping when baked.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Covering with foil prevents the top from burning while the lasagna cooks through.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top.
This step adds a delicious, crispy texture to the cheese topping.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the layers to set, making it easier to slice and serve.
