Add the noodles and cook to al dente. Drain and set aside. Now prepare the sauce.
Add the lean ground beef to a large pot and cook until done. Drain and set meat aside.
Add some oil to a large pot over medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Next, add the minced garlic (or garlic powder) and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Season with dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add tomato paste, cook for about a minute, and add crushed tomatoes. Stir and bring to a simmer.
While the sauce is simmering, mix together the ricotta, half of the shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, egg, salt and pepper.
Now it’s time to assemble the San Giorgio lasagna. Pour about 1 cup of the meat cup into the bottom of the 11×17 inch baking dish.
Place three noodles over the sauce and spoon over with more meat sauce. Dollop the cheese mixture over the meat sauce. Repeat layers, ending with meat sauce and then remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Remove foil, bump the oven up to broil, and bake until cheese is bubbly and brown, about 5 minutes.
