- Add the marinara sauce, fresh chopped herbs – oregano, basil and thyme and red pepper chili flakes. Stir, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until beginning to thicken around 10 minutes.

- Add cooked lasagna noodles to the meat sauce, and gently nestle the sheets in between the sauce. Lastly top with remaining mozzarella, parmigiano-reggiano cheese and dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle additional Italian herb seasoning if desired and place in oven to bake for 15 minutes or until cheese bubbly and toasted.
