A creative twist on traditional lasagna, using instant ramen noodles as the base, layered with marinara sauce, ricotta, and melted mozzarella.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

1. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture

   • In a medium bowl, mix ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

   • Add a layer of cooked ramen noodles, trimming them if needed to fit the dish.
   • Spread a portion of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
   • Sprinkle cooked ground beef (if using) and shredded mozzarella over the ricotta.
   • Repeat the layers: marinara, ramen noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, and beef until the ingredients are used up.
   • Finish with a top layer of marinara sauce and a generous sprinkling of mozzarella and parmesan.

1. Bake the Lasagna

   • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
   • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
