How to Make Egg Noodle Lasagna

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground beef, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook for 10-12 minutes, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 24 oz (about 2 cups) tomato-basil pasta sauce and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. While the meat sauce simmers, cook 1 lb egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, 15 oz ricotta cheese (or 15 oz mascarpone or cream cheese), 1 cup sour cream, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Layer half of the egg noodle mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the meat sauce.
  8. Repeat layers with remaining egg noodle mixture and meat sauce.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Bake for 25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  11. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
