See? Super easy. No chopping required. Unless you want to...
Instead of store bought sauce, I used my marinara sauce from earlier this month.
Ground beef? No, ground turkey. Yes.
Brown it with salt and pepper OR McCormick's Steak Seasoning like I do.
Mmm... ground turkey.
Dump your marinara into the pan to warm up after the meat has been browned.
Mix all the cheeses together along with the egg.
It's supposed to be parsley but I used basil instead. It works, just any dried/green herb you have. Whatever, it's easy lasagna, right?
Combine everything together until just mixed - no worries, the shredded mozarella will blend in nicely.
I added one cup of chicken brother instead of one cup water. I like flaver, thank you very much. I bet you could add wine instead... if you're daring...
Start off with a 9x13 pan. Eh, don't worry about buttering it. This is easy.
Add one cup meat sauce.
Pasta.
Cheese.
Meat sauce, but don't let your arm give your lasagna a shadow like I did. That's not very pretty.
Pasta.
Cheese.
Meat sauce with no shadow.
Pasta.
The rest of the cheese.
The rest of the meat sauce.
Shred more mozzarella while your pan bakes at 350 for 45 minutes. I didn't cover it so I put more sauce on it than normal so it wouldn't dry out.
Mmm... Cheese...
Oh - it's finally done...
Why yes, yes it is ready to eat...1 lb. ground beef
