Method
Preparation
Cook the Lasagna Noodles
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meat Sauce
Make the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add Tomatoes and Seasonings
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cheese Mixture
Prepare Cheese Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth.
Assembly
Layer the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the cheese mixture, then a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this process, ending with a layer of meat sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake the Lasagna
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
