  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 package raw instant ramen noodles (3 oz), seasoning packets discarded

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar oven-safe pan.

  2. Cook the Meat Sauce
    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or sausage until fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

  3. Mix the Ricotta Layer
    In a small mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, half of the mozzarella (1 cup), and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until well blended.

  4. Assemble the Layers
    Break ramen noodles in half and arrange a layer in the baking dish. Spoon a layer of meat sauce over the noodles, followed by a layer of ricotta mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with sauce on top.

  5. Top with Cheese
    Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top layer.

  6. Bake to Perfection
    Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is golden and bubbly.

  7. Serve and Enjoy
    Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the meat sauce.

  • If you like softer noodles, pre-boil ramen for 1–2 minutes before layering.

  • Swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter version.

  • Use fresh mozzarella for a gooey, luxurious topping.
