48 ounces marinara sauce (your favorite sauce)

15 ounces ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)

1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded asiago cheese

2 large eggs

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and onion and saute until translulcent.  Add the ground beef and brown.  Drain off and discard any fat.

In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1 cup asiago cheese and 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese, eggs, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt and ground black pepper. Mix well.

To assemble, spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray.

Spread ¾ cup of sauce on the bottom of the baking pan.

Cover the bottom with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles.

Top with ⅓ of the cheese mixture and ¼ of the sauce.

Repeat layers (noodles, cheese, sauce, noodles, cheese, sauce).

Top with 3 noodles, remaining sauce, remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheese.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes.

Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
