1. 1Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (or 190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray and set aside. Set a deep skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat on the stove top and add olive oil, ground beef, and diced yellow onion.
2. 2Step 2: Sauté, breaking up the beef with a spatula or spoon, for 6-8 minutes or until beef is no longer pink.
3. 3Step 3: Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring often to make sure the garlic does not burn.
4. 4Step 4: Add the marinara sauce and stir to combine. Let cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
5. 5Step 5: In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, and fresh chopped parsley. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese for later. Stir the ricotta mixture until well combined.
6. 6Step 6: To assemble the lasagna, place 1 cup of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking pan and spread with a spoon or spatula until the entire pan is covered.
7. 7Step 7: Place 1/3 of the gluten-free lasagne noodles in a layer on top of the sauce. Depending on the size and shape of your lasagne noodles, you will be able to fit 4-5 noodles in a layer. Break up lasagne noodles as needed to cover the entire pan. With Barilla Gluten-Free Lasagne Noodles, I was able to fit four noodles next to each other and then broke up a fifth noodle to fill the entire space.
8. 8Step 8: Add approximately 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture to the top of the noodles, and gently spread across the noodles so that it is evenly distributed.
9. 9Step 9: Top the cheese with 1 cup of sauce, then lasagne noodles, then ricotta cheese again, all evenly distributed. Repeat one more time, finishing with a final layer of sauce. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. To recap, the order from bottom to top goes 1 cup sauce, 1/3 of the noodles, 1/2 the ricotta, 1 cup sauce, 1/3 of the noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta, 1 cup sauce, 1/3 of the noodles, remaining sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella.
10. 10Step 10: Spray a piece of aluminum foil on one side and cover the baking dish with foil, sprayed side down. Bake at 375F (190C) for 45 minutes.
11. 11Step 11: Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.
12. 12Step 12: Remove lasagna from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. Top with additional fresh parsley, if you desire.
