Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook ground beef with onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper until thoroughly cooked through and onions are translucent.

To assemble, lay out a cooked lasagna noodle and spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture over one side of the pasta in a thick, even layer.
