Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Noodles: Bring salted water to a boil, add lasagna noodles, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain and lay flat on a towel to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Filling: Combine ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and egg in a bowl. Mix until smooth, and stir in fresh basil.
  3. Heat the Marinara Sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add marinara sauce, and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Begin Layering Your Lasagna: Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread marinara sauce in a baking dish, layer noodles, cheese filling, and repeat until finished.
  5. Add the Final Touches: Top with shredded mozzarella and extra Parmesan, sprinkle with basil.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Cool and Slice: Let lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
