Time 1h40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package dry lasagna noodles
1 (16 ounce) package ground beef
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 (7 ounce) container ricotta cheese, or to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Italian cheese blend

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat while the lasagna noodles are cooking. Add beef, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until flavors blend, 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8- to 10-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Cut lasagna noodles in half and line them in the prepared pan in overlapping layers resembling shingles. Spoon 1/3 of the beef sauce into pan.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, basil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Layer 1/2 of the ricotta mixture into the prepared pan. Add 1/2 the Italian cheese blend. Add the next 1/3 of beef sauce and remaining 1/2 of ricotta mixture. Finish with the last 1/3 of beef sauce. Fold over the overhanging noodles. Sprinkle the remaining Italian cheese blend on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 170 degrees F (77 degrees C), about 45 minutes. Cover with a tent of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 20 minutes. Flip over and cut into wedges using a serrated knife.
