Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.

Brown ground beef in a large skillet and season with salt and pepper.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Add garlic, garlic salt, finely chopped onion, chopped sweet basil, and tomato paste to the skillet with the ground beef.

Add 4 cans of water to the mixture.

Add a pinch of chili powder.

Simmer the sauce for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, parsley, and parmesan cheese.

Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce in the baking dish.

Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of mozzarella cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
