How to Make One-Pan Lasagna

Cook the Meat and Sauce

Brown the meat with onions and garlic, then simmer with marinara sauce and spices to make a savory sauce.

Assemble the Lasagna

Layer the sauce, noodles, and ricotta cheese mixture in the skillet, finishing with a topping of mozzarella and Parmesan.

Bake to Perfection

Cover and bake the lasagna, then uncover it to allow the cheese to brown and become bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

Let the lasagna rest before slicing, then garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Pro Tips for the Perfect One-Pan Lasagna

To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the ground meat and add extra vegetables such as zucchini or mushrooms.

For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese and freshly grated Parmesan.

You can add a layer of spinach or kale for added nutrition and flavor.

If you prefer a spicier lasagna, add red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little kick.

This dish can be made ahead of time. Assemble it, cover with foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

For an extra crispy top, broil the lasagna for the last 3-5 minutes of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

1 lb ground beef or turkey

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce

1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 lasagna noodles (uncooked, broken into thirds)

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until the meat is browned and the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the marinara sauce, dried basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.

Layer the lasagna: Spoon a thin layer of the sauce mixture into the bottom of the skillet. Add a layer of broken lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.

Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
