Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a loaf pan.
If using traditional noodles, cook them until al dente and let cool.
In a skillet, heat oil, brown the ground beef with onion and carrot; drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic and spaghetti sauce; simmer briefly.
In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, and salt.
Layer in the loaf pan: start with sauce, then noodles, ricotta mixture, meat mixture; repeat layers.
Top with remaining noodles, sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake: traditional noodles for about 20 minutes; no-boil for about 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake until golden brown (15 minutes). Let sit before slicing.
