Ingredients

Scale
- 1 batch (8 C) Homemade Meat Sauce
- 1 lb lasagna noodles
- 4 C Mozzarella, grated or thinly sliced
- 2 C ricotta
- 1 C aged parmesan, grated
- 1/2 C Pecorino Romano, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, minced
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and place an oven rack on the center rack. Lightly oil the inside of a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil, or cooking spray. You don’t want the cheese to glue itself to the sides.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the ricotta, Kosher salt, Italian seasoning, minced parsley, grated pecorino romano, and garlic powder. Mix it well, and set it aside. In another bowl, stir together the grated mozzarella and aged parmesan. Set that aside, too.
- Prepare your lasagna noodles to package directions (if they don’t say to salt the pasta water, then I am telling you to salt the pasta water). Once the noodles are al dente and drained, set them aside to cool slightly and then get to the assembly station!
- Ladle some – about a cup – of the sauce into the prepared baking dish and spread it around. Cover it with a single layer of the lasagna noodles, overlapping them slightly. Cut them if needed – make sure the entire surface is covered. Sprinkle over about 1/4 of the grated cheese over the top of the noodles, covering them evenly. Next, ladle more sauce over the cheese and use the back of the ladle to spread it around, into the corners. Do this twice, then spread on the ricotta mixture, evenly.
- Continue layering until you’ve filled the pan or used all of the ingredients – making sure to end with cheese. I like to finish it up by drizzling a bit of reserved meat sauce over the top and I also sprinkle a little of my finishing pepper blend over the top too, available soon!
- Tear off a piece of foil large enough to cover and oil one side of it. Cover the lasagna with the foil oil side down and wrap it tightly around the edges. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for 30-35 more minutes until browned and bubbly. Not too long, or the cheese will separate! Remove and let rest for 15 minutes, then serve in squares. Dassit!
