2. Add a generous layer of ricotta cheese, making sure to cover the entire bottom layer.

3. Add the next lasagna layer.

4. Add ground beef and onions.

5. Layer with lasagna.

6. Mix the ricotta and mozzarella cheese together over it.

7. Add another lasagna pasta.

9. Pour the rest of the tomato & basil sauce and mozzarella cheese over it. 

10. Bake for 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!

Tips:

The outer top layer lasagna pasta was less cooked even after 45 minutes in the oven. The bottom layers were perfect: soft and tender and easily sliced with a fork. Next time, I'll probably soak the upper layers of pasta in water before I put it in the oven. If you try this out, let me know how it turns out! Good luck!
