Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190℃).
  • In a bowl, mix the oregano, ricotta, garlic powder, and parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef and sausage while crumbling it into smaller pieces until it is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir 2/3 of the marinara sauce with the beef until fully combined. Remove from the heat.
  • Ladle a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.
  • Place an even layer of no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce (you may need to break the lasagna noodles to fit the dish properly).
  • Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Then spread a layer of meat sauce and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat this process in another layer.
  • Finally, add a top layer of lasagna noodles and spread with marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil. Bake for about 40 - 50 minutes until fully cooked and bubbly. Let sit for 10 minutes before portioning.
    Optional: place under the broiler on low to brown the top if desired.

  • Serve the lasagna with extra sauce if desired, bread, and sparkling water.
