1. 1Heat oven to 375°F. Boil noodles in a large pot of salted water for 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and lay flat on an oiled sheet so they do not stick.
2. 2Cook beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, breaking up the meat, until beef reaches 160°F. Drain fat. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in marinara and Italian seasoning; simmer 5 minutes.
3. 3Mix ricotta, egg, Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper in a bowl. Spread 1 cup meat sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
4. 4Layer 4 noodles, half the ricotta mixture, 1 cup mozzarella and one-third of the remaining sauce. Repeat. Finish with the last 4 noodles, the remaining sauce and the final cup of mozzarella.
5. 5Cover with foil tented above the cheese. Bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 15–20 minutes until bubbling and the center reaches 165°F. The listed cook time includes the sauce preparation and baking.
6. 6Rest 15 minutes before slicing. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours for 3–4 days. Reheat covered to 165°F.
