LASAGNA CASSEROLE - EASY (BUT DELICIOUS!)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil on the stovetop.
• Add in your pasta and allow it to cook until it's al dente (cook the pasta for one or two minutes less than it says to on the back of the packet). Once you finish cooking the pasta, drain the water, and keep the pasta ready on your counter.
• Place a large skillet onto a medium heat on the stovetop and throw in your ground beef, chopped onions, and minced garlic. Allow the ingredients to cook on medium heat until the ground beef is browned all over, and the onions have softened up.
• Add in your Italian herbs and seasoning alongside salt and pepper to taste. Stir before pouring over your marinara sauce. Pour in a little water (no more than 2 tbsps) to lighten the sauce.
• Allow the ingredients to simmer in the sauce until it's warmed up (no need to boil), then add your drained pasta to the mix and stir everything together.
• Now you need to prepare a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish and preheat your oven to 350 °F.
• While the oven is preheating, pour your ricotta cheese into a large mixing bowl. Crack your large egg into the bowl and whisk it into the cheese.
• Shred your mozzarella cheese and grate your parmesan. Add half of both kinds of cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir everything together with a light seasoning of pepper.
• Now it's time to layer your lasagna casserole. First, pour half of the sauce, beef, and pasta into the baking dish. Add a smooth layer of your cheese mixture, then add a second layer of sauce, beef, and pasta.
• Add any leftover cheese mixture to the top, cover the pan with tin foil, and then place the lasagna casserole into the oven.
• After 30 min of baking, take the easy lasagna casserole out of the oven, remove the tin foil, and cover the top with the rest of your grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella.
• Place the lasagna back into the oven, this time uncovered. Bake for a further 10 min to give the lasagna a cheesy, yet golden brown finish.
• Leave to cool, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve up to a hungry dinner table!
