Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 jar traditional pasta sauce
- 1 container ricotta cheese 15 ounces; part-skim
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese part-skim; shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated; divided
- 2 eggs
- 12 lasagna noodles cooked and drained
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brown the ground beef in a 12-inch skillet, checking that it reaches 160°F with a food thermometer, then drain.
- Stir the sauce into the beef and heat through.
- Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and the eggs in a large bowl.
- Spread 1 cup meat sauce in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Add 4 noodles, 1 cup meat sauce and half the ricotta mixture. Repeat those layers once. Top with the remaining 4 noodles and the remaining sauce.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes. Check the center with a food thermometer. If it has not reached 165°F, keep baking until it does.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
The total time includes the 10-minute stand. Ground beef must reach 160°F and the finished lasagna 165°F.
