Spread 1/2 of the ricotta over the pasta. Layer to assemble lasagna, spread 1/3 of the marinara sauce into bottom of baking dish. Stir in marinara sauce and vegetable broth. Fresh basil or parsley (OPTIONAL): mostly this is for a nice presentation so feel free to skip it.Shredded parmesan cheese: this can be grated (finer crumbly) or shredded (small slivers).Shredded mozzarella cheese: pre-shredded saves time but the blocks you grate yourself are great too.

Ricotta cheese: whole or skim works fine.

They won’t absorb enough liquid since they’re thinner and smaller.

Vegetable broth: chicken broth should work fine too.

It can be pricey so feel free to use another you like. It is the absolute best store-bought marinara sauce (I’m pretty sure I’ve tried every widely available brand out there). If there’s excess fat you can dab it up with balled up towels and tongs or drain.

Lean ground beef: I use 85 – 91% lean.
