Ingredients

- ½ cup sugar, divided

How to Make Cheesy Berry Lasagna
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, half of the sugar (¼ cup), egg, vanilla extract, salt, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with the remaining sugar (¼ cup) and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the cheese.
- Spread half of the remaining cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the berry mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of noodles on top.
- Spread the remaining cheese mixture on the top layer of noodles, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh berries for the best flavor and texture.

What to Serve With It
