Start by preheating your oven to 375°F.
Melt the Lifeway Salted Kefir Butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5–6 minutes, until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds, just until fragrant.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Pour in the marinara sauce and add the Italian seasoning, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring everything to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20–30 minutes, letting all those flavors come together.
While the sauce simmers, make your Farmer Cheese filling.
In a bowl, combine the Lifeway Farmer Cheese, eggs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and combined.
Spread ⅓ of the Lifeway Farmer Cheese mixture over the noodles, then top with ⅓ of the mozzarella.
Spoon another 1 cup of meat sauce over the mozzarella.
Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining meat sauce, Farmer Cheese mixture, and mozzarella.
Cover the dish with foil. To keep the cheese from sticking, spray the foil with cooking spray or make sure the foil isn't touching the cheese.
Bake covered for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 20–25 minutes, until the lasagna is hot, bubbly, and lightly browned on top.
Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
