How to Make Awesome Lasagna No Boil Easy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb Italian sausage (or 1 lb ground beef) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 24 oz jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce, 1 (28 oz) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 cup of water, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine 15 oz ricotta cheese, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.
  5. Spread about 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Layer 3 uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  7. Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce over the noodles.
  8. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the sauce.
  9. Repeat layers: noodles, sauce, ricotta cheese mixture.
  10. Top with a final layer of noodles and the remaining meat sauce.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
  12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  13. Bake for 45 minutes.
  14. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
