Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian spices including thyme leaves, oregano, and dried basil
  • 1 pack lasagna noodles
  • 2 lb ground chuck
  • 6 cups pasta sauce
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Grease the baking dish with oil.
  • Add the cooked and browned ground chuck in a skillet, mix it with the pasta sauce and heat it on a low frame.
  • Add an egg, garlic powder, ricotta cheese, Italian spices, and parmesan cheese in a bowl and mix it thoroughly.
  • Add a cup of meat sauce to the baking dish and add water to it.
  • Start adding layers of the lasagna noodles and prevent them from overlapping. Now add the roundly graded ricotta cheese mixture to the noodles and spread it all across the surface of the lasagna noodles.
  • Add shredded mozzarella cheese to the ricotta layer and cover it with 1 whole cup of meat sauce.
    This way, make a new layer by starting with the lasagna noodles, ground chuck, then sauce, and add all types of cheese.
    Save the remaining cheese for later if there is any.
  • Cover the head of the dish with aluminum foil and let it rest in the refrigerator for the whole night.
    Put this covered dish in a cold oven and set the temperature to 350 degrees. Set the timer for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the aluminum foil and add the leftover cheese on top of the lasagna; bake it inside a heated oven for another 15 to 25 minutes or wait until the cheese starts to melt.
    Wait before serving the lasagna and let the filling settle for a few minutes before serving it.

Notes

You will have to wait overnight to make it the other day if you use uncooked noodles. But if you want to make it according to the instructions on the package, you can cook it immediately after assembling it. Cook the lasagna properly before assembling it with the rest of the ingredients. Try this recipe, and you will turn to any other.
