Ingredients

  • 9–12 oven-ready lasagna noodles

  • 3 cups rosé pasta sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese

  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a bowl, mix ricotta, cream cheese, and parmesan until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread a thin layer of rosé sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  • Layer noodles over the sauce, then spread a third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Repeat two more times (three layers total).
  • Pour remaining rosé sauce on top and sprinkle with mozzarella.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Let it rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Top with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Assemble the lasagna the night before and bake the next day – perfect for busy evenings.
