Classic Meat Sauce Lasagna

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray a 3-quart size pyrex (9 1/4 x 13 1/4), set aside.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse and let it cool down to touch.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add ground beef and cook until browned (about 12 minutes), stirring occasionally. When meat is browned, season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and add tomato sauce and fresh basil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

To assemble the lasagna, cover entire bottom surface of pyrex with remaining olive oil, brushing the oil up the sides. Arrange three rows and two layers of lasagna noodles. Cover noodle layer with cheese slices (about 12 slices).

Top with meat sauce, enough to cover entire surface. Repeat steps. Top with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and sprinkle Parmesan cheese.

Bake 20–25 minutes uncovered. Serve immediately.
