Boil lasagna noodles in water until al dente.

Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the browned meat; sauté for 2 minutes.

Season with Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.

Add marinara sauce to the meat mixture and add water to the sauce bottle; simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Add sugar to the sauce after 5 minutes of simmering.

In a mixing bowl, combine egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, parsley flakes, and shredded mozzarella cheese; mix well.

Layer some meat sauce in the bottom of a foil pan.

Spread a layer of the cheese mixture on the lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce, and roll them up.

Place the rolled noodles seam-side down in the pan.

Top with remaining meat sauce and slices of mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.

Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
