I "Heart" Lasagna

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray an 8” X 8” baking pan with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add beef, Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook and crumble until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in marinara sauce.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta with 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 4

Thoroughly blot lasagna sheets dry. Top with remaining 1/4 tsp. each garlic powder and onion powder.

Step 5

Evenly layer the following in the baking pan: 1/3 of the lasagna sheets, half of the seasoned ricotta, and 1/3 of the meat sauce. Repeat layering twice.

Step 6

Top with mozzarella. Cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Uncover and bake until cheese has lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
