Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz lasagna noodles
- 1 lb ground beef or sausage
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Brown the ground beef or sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crumbled and cooked through; drain the excess grease.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the sheet pan. Then, layer the lasagna noodles directly over the sauce.
- Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the meat and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients until you fill the pan to the top.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna cool slightly before serving, then garnish with fresh basil for that perfect finishing touch.
