How to Make Sue's Lasagna Al Forno

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook 1 pound of lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large non-stick pot, brown 1 pound of ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or 1.5 cups shredded chicken) over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess grease.
Stir in 2 cups of your favorite Alfredo sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine 15 ounces of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Lightly butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Layer the dish as follows: a thin layer of meat sauce, a layer of noodles, a layer of ricotta mixture, and a layer of cream (1 cup heavy cream is recommended). Repeat layers, ending with a generous layer of meat sauce, remaining Parmesan cheese, and a light dusting of nutmeg.
Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
