We can use Entity Framework even if we dont use MVC format.
I've use EF in some of my asp.net project without using MVC,but using MVC with EF is the best practice so far.

Entity Framework[^] is an ORM & it's not attached to MVC. You could use Entity Framework with ASP.NET webforms too. Check this article
An Introduction to Entity Framework for Absolute Beginners[^]

You have to install the Entity Framework[^] in your system.
