3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
24 oz high-quality marinara sauce
1 large egg
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Combine ricotta, half the parmesan, egg, and salt in a bowl and mix until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
Place a layer of noodles over the sauce.
Spread a portion of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
Add a layer of marinara sauce followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with sauce and mozzarella on top.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Notes
Use a high-quality marinara sauce for best results. Ensure the sauce is slightly thinner than usual to help the noodles cook perfectly. Using fresh parmesan is highly recommended over dried versions. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing for the best hold.
