Classic Lasagna Recipe

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Meat Sauce:

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
Add garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix well to form a smooth cheese mixture.
Assemble the Lasagna:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Layer with lasagna noodles, followed by a portion of the ricotta mixture, more meat sauce, and shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bake:

Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden.
Serve:

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
