Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, a beaten egg, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Grease a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  4. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Lay down the no-boil lasagna noodles.
  5. Spoon the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of marinara sauce. Repeat until you have 4 to 6 layers.
  6. Finish with remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with leftover mozzarella cheese.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  8. After 35 minutes, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400ºF (200ºC). Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and edges are crispy.
  9. Let the lasagna cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and garnish with basil and parsley.
