Ingredients
15 oz ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
🥄 Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, salt, basil, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Boil water in a large pot and cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and lay flat on a clean surface.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce at the bottom of the baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used. Finish with a final layer of noodles, topped with marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley.
