How to Make Best Ever Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb mozzarella cheese, 1 lb Parmesan cheese, 1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Mix well.
  4. In an 8x8 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer (about 1 cup) of Khandi's spaghetti sauce.
  5. Layer 3-4 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  6. Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
  7. Add another layer of 3-4 noodles, followed by the remaining cheese mixture.
  8. Top with the remaining sauce (about 6-7 cups).
  9. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  11. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. For freezing, cool completely, cover tightly with plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe container or bag.
  13. To cook from frozen, add 30-45 minutes to the baking time.
