Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large, rimmed baking sheet.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with minced garlic until the beef is browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Stir the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef mixture. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  5. Spread a thin, even layer of the meat sauce across the bottom of the prepared sheet pan.
  6. Place 3 no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce layer.
  7. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella cheese, then top with one-third of the remaining meat sauce.
  8. Repeat the layering process: 3 more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, another third of the mozzarella, and another third of the meat sauce.
  9. Top with the final 3 noodles, the remaining meat sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
  10. Cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  11. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  12. Let the sheet pan lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Using no-boil noodles helps reduce prep time significantly for this minimal cleanup meal.
  • For extra crispy edges, ensure the sauce and cheese reach the sides of the pan.
  • This recipe is easy to make ahead; cover and refrigerate assembled lasagna for up to 24 hours before baking (add 10 minutes to the covered baking time).
