Cook the San Giorgio® Lasagna NoodlesIn a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together.Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water. Lay the noodles out on a clean kitchen towel to dry.
Prepare the Cheese MixtureIn a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, chopped parsley, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Assemble the LasagnaPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, overlapping them slightly.Spread one-third of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of meat sauce.Repeat this layering process twice, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with the remaining meat sauce.Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the LasagnaCover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly. Let it Rest and ServeOnce the lasagna is baked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.Cut the lasagna into squares and serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
