Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or preferred protein, e.g., turkey or chicken
  • 1 jar 24 oz marinara sauce (or 3 cups homemade sauce)
  • 12 Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1 15 oz container ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg for mixing with ricotta
  • 1 tsp dried oregano optional for added flavor
  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp pepper to taste

Equipment

  • oven
  • Baking dish (13x9 inches recommended)
  • Skillet (for browning ground beef)
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain the fat.
  3. Add the marinara sauce to the cooked beef, stirring until combined. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish.
  6. Place the lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of the cheese mixture, then more sauce. Repeat layers, ending with sauce on top.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  8. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

 

  • No-boil noodles: Ensure you are using the no-boil lasagna noodles for the recipe to work as intended. These noodles soften and cook as the lasagna bakes.
  • Meat options: Feel free to substitute ground beef with other proteins, such as turkey or chicken, for a leaner version.
  • Extra flavor: Add some fresh basil or garlic to the sauce for additional flavor.
  • Rest time: Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes after baking. This helps set the layers and makes it easier to slice.
