Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes until flexible but not fully soft. Drain and set aside.
While the water boils, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and garlic. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Stir in the marinara sauce and basil, then remove from the heat. Done when browned and opaque, 160°F.
In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg white, and half the mozzarella until smooth.
Spread a spoonful of the meat sauce in the bottom of an individual baking dish. Layer with a piece of noodle, a third of the cheese mixture, and more sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining sauce and a sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Done when bubbly and golden, 160°F in the thickest part.
