simple lasagna

We took a couple shortcuts for this traditional lasagna recipe by using store-bought marinara and boxed pasta sheets. It saves a ton of time without sacrificing any ﻿flavor. Make sure to follow these tips.

Classic Lasagna

lasagna noodles

extra-virgin olive oil,

beef

garlic,

oregano

Kosher salt

black pepper

(32-0z.) jars marinara

whole milk ricotta

c. Parmesan, divided

parsley,

lb. sliced mozzarella

Found the measurements, and quantities were extremely off. Ended up throwing out a lot of noodles and having to make more meat and ran out of cheese slices even though we used 2lbs of cheese.

This recipe did not work out for me at all. The quantities were WAY off. For a start you need 2lb of beef.
For the mozzarella, I sliced fresh moz myself, which ended up beeing think and making it extra cheesy - better to buy sliced moz (slightly processed).
Finally, the whole milk ricotta mix was not easily spreadable at all... perhaps I used the worng broand or should have used the egg white as suggested in the other comments.

Great recipe! I used half ground beef/half hot Italian sausage.

I ended up only getting 2 full layers into my pan. I used 8 noodles and had a bunch of oily noodles leftover. I also didn't need 2 full pounds of mozzarella, but I'm sure we'll manage to eat that. Overall, easier recipe than any I've tried before. Very tasty.

My Family loved this recipe. I added the cinnamon the the meat mixture, which many Greek recipes call for (we are Greek) and it was wonderful. Even my daughter, who doesn’t like lasagna, ate some and said how good it was.

Actually when I moved to the south in  60s-70s you could not get Ricotta in grocery stores, so I did use cottage cheese with eggs added.  I worked quite well.  I now use Ricotta and also add the egg.

Fantastic. I made it in a 9x9 pan so halved the recipe (sorta). Added more cheese, because there is never enough for us :) Laid out noodles as you suggested and sprayed with olive oil. First time I haven’t had them tear. Made it so easy. Also the tip to under cooking lasagna was valuable. Used a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just perfect. My husband said you need to make this again.  I used Barilla marinara sauce.

I absolutely loved this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!

Turned out excellent. The only thing I did different was to divide it into two pans. One I froze, the second I baked after leaving in the fridge overnight. To answer one of the below questions, I then increased the 400• time to 30 minutes from 18-20.  Worked out great.

Loved the tip about adding the cinnamon! Delicious lasagna!

30 minute Easy Skillet Lasagna

onion

garlic cloves, chopped

tsp salt

jarred marinara

water

dry lasagna noodles (broken up)

cottage cheese

oz mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet (that has a lid), over medium heat start to brown and crumble the ground beef. Stir in the the onions and garlic. Saute until the beef is cooked the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.Drain any excess grease.

Stir in the 2 cups marinara and 1 1/2 cups water, raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.

Once it boils turn the heat to low, nestle in the broken lasagna noodles.

Pop the lid on and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the lid, scrape up any bits that have stuck to the bottom, if the pan is looking dry add another 1/2 cup water (I usually add it). Stir in  the 1 cup cottage cheese and then sprinkle 4 oz shredded mozzarella over top. Cover and simmer an additional 10-12 minutes, until the noodles are tender.

Let sit uncovered to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving!
