1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tbsp of oil. 2. Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. 3. Add the ground beef and cook thoroughly, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F for 15 seconds. 4. Drain excess fat from the skillet. 5. Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat and set aside. INSTRUCTIONS PREPARE THE MEAT SAUCE:
ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA: 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 2. Spray 2” hotel pans with pan coating spray. 3. Layer 1: Place a single layer of lasagna noodles across the bottom of the pan, overlapping as needed to cover the entire surface. 4. Layer 2: Spread a portion of the meat sauce evenly over the noodles. 5. Layer 3: Spread a portion of ricotta cheese evenly over the meat sauce. 6. Layer 4: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta cheese. 7. Repeat the layering process (noodles, meat sauce, ricotta, mozzarella) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mozzarella. 8. Cover with foil and bake the assembled lasagna in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the lasagna is heated through. 9. Remove the foil for the last 5-10 minutes of baking to allow the top layer of cheese to become golden and bubbly. 10. Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares for serving.
