Instructions

Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190.5°C).
In a bowl, mix the oregano, ricotta, garlic powder, and parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.
Ladle a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish or appropriately sized baking dish (the size of the baking dish should make sense according to the number of portions you are making).
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 sauce and a layer of mozzarella. Repeat this process in another layer.
Finally, add a top layer of lasagna noodles and spread with sauce and the remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes until fully cooked and bubbly.
Finish the lasagna: remove foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes or place under the oven broiler to brown the cheese.
Arrange the salad ingredients in a bowl.
In a bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing until fully combined.
Toast the bread. Then spread with butter and garlic.
Finish the salad: Dress the salad.
Mix together the water and lemon. Add a touch of sugar to taste. Serve over ice if desired.
Portion the lasagna and serve with salad, garlic toast, and lemon water.
