Directions

Ready In
1 h 35 m
Preheat oven to 375  degrees F 
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the lasagna noodles a few at a time, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, or use the NO BOIL LASAGNA NOODLES
but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Remove the noodles to a plate.
Place the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat, add the garlic, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Be sure to add all spices. Cook the meat, chopping it into small chunks as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer. While the sauce is simmering make the Alfredo sauce-see below for the recipe.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta, EGGS AND PARMESAN CHEESE AND SET ASIDE FOR LAYERING.
IN  a 9x13-inch baking pan; top with a layer of the tomato-basil sauce, noodles,a layer of ground beef mixture, and a layer of the cheese mixture. Then the Alfredo sauce.

Repeat layers twice more, ending with a layer of sauce; sprinkle top with the cheese MIXTURE. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese has melted, about 30 -40 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese has begun to brown, about 10 more minutes. Allow to stand at least 10 minutes before serving.*********
