Effortless lasagna using no-boil noodles for a quick and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain off excess fat.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
  5. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  7. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
  8. Top with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
  9. Repeat layers: meat sauce, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, mozzarella.
  10. Finish with a final layer of meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  11. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  12. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, replace ground beef with cooked lentils or a blend of chopped mushrooms and spinach.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference.
  • Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
