Prepare the cheese mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and fresh basil (if using). Mix until smooth and well-combined. Set aside.
Assemble the lasagna:
In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom.
Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread a portion of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.
