1 jar (24 oz/700g) marinara or spaghetti sauce: Provides a robust tomato base. Choose a high-quality sauce for the best flavor.

Optional: Chopped vegetables (spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers): Boosts nutrition and adds a fresh, garden flavor.

For the Cheese Layer:

1 can (15 oz/425g) ricotta or cottage cheese: Brings a creamy texture and mild, cheesy flavor.

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts into gooey, stretchy goodness.

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Adds a sharp, savory bite.

1 large egg: Helps bind the cheese mixture, ensuring it stays creamy and firm.

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder: Infuses subtle garlicky warmth.

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that provides classic Italian flavors.

For the Noodles:

1 package (8 oz/225g) lasagna noodles (no-boil or regular): Forms the structure of the lasagna, absorbing flavors as they cook.
