Description
A comforting and easy no-boil lasagna that delivers rich flavors with minimal fuss, perfect for family dinners or potlucks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 3 cups jarred spaghetti sauce
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if desired, then season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and a little salt and pepper—mix gently until just combined.
- Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place 4 no-boil lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping as needed.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with one-third of the cooked meat and one-third of the shredded mozzarella.
- Repeat the layers: sauce, 4 noodles, remaining ricotta, one-third of the meat, and another one-third of the mozzarella.
- Finish with the final 4 noodles, remaining sauce spread over the top, remaining mozzarella, and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Assemble ahead and refrigerate before baking for convenience. For lighter options, substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef and use part-skim cheeses.
