Easy Lasagna Recipe

A classic comfort food that is simple enough for weeknight dinners yet fancy enough for gatherings. This lasagna is layered with ground beef, ricotta, and mozzarella, bringing warmth and happiness to any table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 onion
  • 32 oz spaghetti sauce
  • 16 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cups grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  3. Sauté the Onion and Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil, then toss in your chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Mix in the Sauce: Once the beef is browned, pour in the spaghetti sauce. Stir together and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Assemble the Lasagna: Start layering the meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, and mozzarella in a baking dish.
  6. Bake It: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let It Rest: Once out of the oven, let your lasagna rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Garnish with fresh basil leaves or chopped parsley for a pop of color. Pair it with a crisp green salad and garlic bread.
