How to Make No-Boil Lasagna
Start by preheating your oven to 375ºF and then get a large skillet ready to cook the meat. Over medium-high heat, saute the onion and garlic, then brown the ground beef. Pour off the fat and set the beef aside. While the beef is browning, combine the ricotta, eggs, one cup of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl. In another bowl combine the tomato sauce and Italian seasoning.
To assemble the lasagna, spread one cup of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer four of the uncooked lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the ground beef, one cup of mozzarella, and one cup of spaghetti sauce. Repeat for three more layers, layering and ending the last layer with four uncooked noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture, 1/3 of the ground beef, one cup of sauce, and one cup mozzarella cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for an hour.
Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until cheese melts, about 5-10 minutes, then let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving your no-boil lasagna.
