3 cups marinara or pasta sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef or sausage with onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat.

In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, half of the parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Spread a layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Add a layer of no-boil noodles, followed by the ricotta mixture, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers.
Top with remaining sauce, mozzarella, and the rest of the parmesan.
Cover dish tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Make sure the noodles are fully covered with sauce to ensure they soften properly.
Use a slightly thinner sauce if yours is thick this helps hydrate the noodles while baking.
Lasagna can be made up to one day in advance and refrigerated before baking.
