  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Make the sauce: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and garlic powder; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and oregano; cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Make the lasagna: Mix mozzarella and provolone together in a medium bowl. Mix ricotta, milk, eggs, and oregano together in another bowl.
  • Ladle sauce (just enough to cover) into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer sauce with three lasagna noodles, more sauce, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella mixture; repeat once more using all of remaining cheese mixtures. Layer with remaining three lasagna noodles and remaining sauce, then sprinkle Parmesan over top.
  • Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until cheese is melted and top is golden, about 15 minutes longer.
