Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

12 Barilla No Boil Lasagna Noodles
1 lb 450g Ground beef
1/2 cup Onion chopped
2 cups 475g Marinara sauce (or tomato sauce)
2 cups 475g Ricotta cheese
2 cups 475g Shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

9x13-inch baking dish,
Large skillet,
Large pot (for boiling water)

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook ground beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add sauce: Stir in marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Layer the lasagna: In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by 1/3 of the meat sauce, a layer of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layers twice, ending with a layer of sauce and cheeses on top.
Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
Rest before serving: Let the lasagna cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

No-boil noodles: Using Barilla's no-boil noodles eliminates the need to pre-cook the pasta, saving you time.
Make-ahead: You can prepare the lasagna a day ahead and refrigerate it before baking. Just bake it the next day when you're ready.
Freezing: This recipe can be frozen either before or after baking. If freezing before baking, be sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before cooking.
