Cheese Lasagna

Recipe View Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Noodle Perfection: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and lay noodles flat on foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Ricotta Dream: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Sauce Infusion: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Layering Begins: Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. (2 minutes)

Recipe View The First Act: Cover the sauce with a layer of cooked lasagna noodles, slightly overlapping if necessary. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with another layer of noodles. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Encore: Pour 1 1/2 cups of sauce over the noodles, then spread the remaining ricotta mixture evenly over the sauce. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Grand Finale: Top with the remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover the baking dish with a greased sheet of foil to prevent the cheese from burning. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake to Golden Glory: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to achieve a perfectly browned top. (45 minutes)

Recipe View Rest & Serve: Let the lasagna rest for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the layers to set and makes for easier serving. (10 minutes)
