How to Make Lasagna (VIDEO)

For a warm and hearty meal, try this simple lasagna recipe.

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit while you brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain, and return it to the skillet.

Tip
Make a vegetarian version by substituting roasted vegetables for the meat.

Step 2:
Combine half the mozzarella cheese, half the parmesan cheese, and the ricotta cheese with parsley and egg in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and set it aside.

Step 3:
Add the spaghetti sauce to the meat in the skillet. Fill the empty sauce jar with a cup of water, replace the lid, and shake well. Pour the water into the meat mixture and stir.

Tip
Make the meat sauce in advance and store it in a closed container in the refrigerator.

Step 4:
Cover the bottom of the baking dish with 1 cup meat sauce. Spread a layer of three noodles and one-third of the cheese mixture. Repeat this process for two more layers. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Step 5:
Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil. Bake it for 45 minutes, and then remove the foil. Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until heated through.

Step 6:
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it stand for 15 minutes. Cut into 12 squares, and serve.
