Method
FOR THE NOODLES:
- This part will take the longest, so feel free to make the “noodles” the night before and just leave them in the fridge until you are ready for them
- Preheat oven to 375° Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together cream cheese and eggs
- Next, add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in mozzarella cheese and mix until well incorporated
- Spread the mixture into the baking dish, forming a nice even layer
- Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes
- When the noodles are done baking, cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut
FOR THE FILLING:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, minced onion, oregano, garlic powder, dried basil and a pinch of salt
- Cook until the meat is browned
- Drain excess fat from pan and add ¾ cup marinara sauce to meat
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
- Pour ¼ cup marinara sauce into bottom of loaf pan
- Top with the first ‘noodle’ layer
- Layer a third of the ground beef mixture
- Top with ¼ cup mozzarella cheese and 3 tbsp ricotta cheese, and cover with another ‘noodle’ layer
- Repeat these steps
- Cover the top ‘noodle’ layer with remaining ground beef, and mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning over top
- Bake for 20 minutes
