  • 1 egg
  • 2 T Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 C shredded parmesan
  • 1 C shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • Heat EVOO in a pan over medium high. Add onions and cook until translucent with some browning.

  • Mix the meat mixture with your pasta sauce and set aside.

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Layer Lasagna

  • Evenly layer 1.5 C of your meat sauce on the bottom.

  • Top with 3-4 C of mozzarella (or enough to cover). Finally place ~1 C of parmesan cheese on the very top

Cook

  • Cover the lasagna with foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Spray the foil with oil so that it doesn't stick to the cheese
  • Remove the foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • You can broil at the end for more browning on the cheese.
  • Let rest for ~5-10 minutes.
  • ENJOY!
