Description
A simple, filling, and flavorful 6-ingredient lasagna using no-boil noodles for a quick and easy family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 (24 to 26-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 (12-ounce) package no-boil, oven ready lasagna noodles
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly spray an 11×7-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Step 2: Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat and drain the excess grease away. Return the meat to the skillet over medium-low heat and add the marinara and 1 cup water. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Step 3: Layer about 1/4 of the meat sauce evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover with a layer of the uncooked pasta. Add about half of the ricotta cheese and spread evenly. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Top with 1/4 of the sauce, then more pasta, the remaining ricotta, and 1/3 more of the mozzarella cheese. Add another 1/4 of the sauce, then another layer of pasta. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Step 4: Wrap the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for an hour or until the pasta is tender. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
