Cheesy Meaty Lasagna
/
INGREDIENTS
Lasagna Pasta (12 panels): Wide noodles that create three structured layers — the foundation of a classic, cozy lasagna.
Meaty Marinara (1 1/2 cups, divided): Rich, hearty sauce that brings all the savory depth. Use the Delecticious version for maximum flavor or your favorite jarred marinara. Don’t forget a little extra for the bottom of the dish to keep everything moist.
Ricotta Mixture (1 1/2 cups, divided): A creamy blend of ricotta, Parmesan, and fresh parsley that adds softness and richness to every bite.
Grated Parmesan (3/4 cup, divided): Nutty, salty goodness that melts into each layer and gives the lasagna its signature savory finish.
Fresh Parsley (dash): A bright, fresh sprinkle on top that adds color and a little lift to the final dish.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375(f)
- Prepare the 12 panels of lasagna pasta (for 3 layers), per the instructions of the type of pasta you have. You may need to cut the panels to the size of your baking dish, if you use a smaller than typical lasagna baking dish (9x13), like I did (10.5x7.5). I used a pizza slicer for this.
- Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of your baking dish.
- Lay 3 panels over the sauce, then spread a layer of the ricotta mixture, a layer of meat sauce over the ricotta, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and shredded Parmesan. Repeat Step 3 two more times so you have 3 layers.
- Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for another 20 minutes.
