Make a delicious, family-sized lasagna with crispy edges using a sheet pan for minimal cleanup and simple layering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a 13×9 inch sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
  3. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic powder until combined. This is your cheese mixture.
  4. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared sheet pan.
  5. Arrange four no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce, slightly overlapping if necessary.
  6. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles.
  7. Sprinkle one-third of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  8. Spoon half of the browned ground beef over the mozzarella.
  9. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the beef layer.
  10. Repeat the layering: four noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, one-third of the mozzarella, and the remaining ground beef.
  11. Top with the final four noodles. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top layer of noodles, spreading it to cover completely.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top sauce layer.
  13. Cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  14. Bake for 30 minutes covered.
  15. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  16. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, ensure the sauce and cheese reach the very edges of the pan during assembly.
  • You can prepare the meat sauce and cheese mixture a day ahead.
  • If you prefer a meatless version, substitute the ground beef with sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
