Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a pan, cook the ground meat until browned, then add marinara sauce and simmer.

Assembly

  • In a baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce, then a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with noodles and sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Cooking
