Easy No Boil Lasagna

A delicious and convenient dish that combines layers of pasta, rich sauce, melted cheese, and savory meat without the hassle of pre-cooking the noodles.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 sheets Lasagna noodles (No-boil variety recommended)
  • 1 pound Ground beef (Can substitute with ground turkey)
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (Sweet or spicy based on preference)
  • 2 cups Ricotta cheese (Can use cottage cheese as an alternative)
  • 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (Use fresh for better melting)
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (Reggiano adds depth of flavor)
  • 4 cups Jarred spaghetti sauce (Choose your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Enhances flavor; adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper (To taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  3. Prepare the ricotta mixture by combining ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
  5. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
  6. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the meat mixture, a layer of mozzarella, and more sauce.
  7. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients, finishing with noodles, sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For optimal flavor, use high-quality spaghetti sauce and let the lasagna sit for a while before slicing to help maintain layers.
