Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
Add dried oregano, salt, pepper, marinara sauce, and water to the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes.
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, eggs, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, then 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layers twice more, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Let the lasagna rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option.
Add a layer of spinach for extra vegetables and nutrients.
