Description
A delicious and easy one-pan lasagna recipe that combines all the flavors of traditional lasagna without the hassle of layering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 9 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the pan. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cover the pan and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Once the noodles are cooked, dollop the ricotta mixture over the top of the lasagna. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the pan again and let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the meat with sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach.
- Add a layer of sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
