1 tsp Parsley (dried or fresh)
1 tsp Basil

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped garlic, onions, green pepper, and red pepper to the skillet and sauté until soft.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, Cento tomato sauce, sugar, parsley, basil, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt, pepper, all-around seasoning, and a little basil.
Boil the lasagna shells according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Layer the lasagna: Start with a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of your baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna shells, followed by a layer of ricotta cheese, then a layer of meat sauce. Repeat these layers until you reach the top, finishing with a layer of meat sauce.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
