Classic Lasagna

olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, diced
1 Family Size jar of Ragu (yep, this is an easy recipe!)
1 box no boil lasagna noodles (I like Trader Joe's)
1 small container ricotta
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
other Italian cheeses if you have them (I used a bit of asiago pecorino romano)
Italian Seasoning
Garlic Salt
Smoked Paprika (this is not necessary, but it really added an interesting flavor)

1.  Make sauce by sauteeing onions, peppers and garlic in olive oil. 
2.  Add ground beef and saute until cooked through.
3.  Add Ragu and simmer until hot.
4.  Mix egg, ricotta, other Italian cheeses, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in bowl.
5.  Layer lasagna.  Start with tomato sauce, then layer noodles, sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella cheese and repeat until complete.  Sprinkle top with garlic salt, Italian seasoning and smoked paprika.
6.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (longer if made ahead and refrigerated) with foil (remove foil for last 10 minutes).
