Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375F 190C.
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
4. Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
6. Begin layering your lasagna in a baking dish, starting with a layer of the meat sauce.
7. Place 4 noodles over the meat sauce, then spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
8. Repeat the layering process, ending with the remaining meat sauce and topping with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
9. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
