Classic Meaty Lasagna

Instructions

1. In a large cooking pot, boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions until slightly undercooked. Once they are ready, drain and lay them flat on a clean surface to prevent sticking.
2. While the noodles are cooking, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and parmesan cheese in a large mixing bowl until well mixed.
3. If baking the dish immediately, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the spaghetti sauce on the bottom.
5. Add a layer of 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture (1⁄3 of it), and then a layer of 100 g shredded mozzarella.
6. Reapeat the layering process two more times, starting with the spaghetti sauce, then noodles, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella.
7. Top it with the rest of the sauce, followed by 3 other noodles, then finish with a nice layer of 200 g of mozzarella.
8. If baking the dish later, cover with a layer of tin foil, followed by a layer of plastic wrap, and refrigerate/freeze until ready to bake.
9. Once ready to bake, remove plastic wrap if prepared beforehand, or cover with tin foil if not, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 minutes covered (75-90 minutes if frozen), then uncover for another 15 minutes of baking until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
