Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high, breaking it up, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix ricotta with half the parmesan and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with a layer of noodles.
Step 5
Spread half the ricotta mixture over noodles, then a third of the mozzarella. Repeat layers: noodles, meat sauce, ricotta, mozzarella.
Step 6
Finish with a final layer of noodles, remaining meat sauce, and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
Step 7
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbly and browned, about 15 more minutes.
Step 8
Let rest for 10 minutes, then scatter fresh basil or spinach on top before serving.
