INGREDIENTS​

• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef*
• 1 onion, diced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions.
• Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drain excess fat. Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella and egg; set aside.
• Spread 1 cup tomato mixture onto the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish; top with 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat with a second layer. Top with remaining noodles, tomato mixture, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan.*
• Place into oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbling. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until top is browned in spots. Let cool 15 minutes.
• Serve, garnished with parsley, if desired.
