Make classic lasagna flavor with minimal effort using this easy sheet pan recipe. You get cheesy layers and desirable crispy edges without the fuss of traditional layering or boiling noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
  • 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 standard 13×18 inch sheet pan.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the minced garlic until the beef is fully 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 evenly over the noodles. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta, then top with one-third of the remaining meat sauce.
  8. Repeat the layering process: 3 more noodles, the rest of the ricotta mixture, another third of the meat sauce, and another cup of mozzarella.
  9. Place the final 3 noodles on top. Cover this top layer completely with the remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top layer of sauce.
  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 golden brown and bubbly and the edges are crispy.
  12. Let the sheet pan lasagna cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Using no-boil noodles helps keep the prep time short for this convenient family meal.
  • For extra crispy edges, ensure the sauce does not completely cover the noodles right at the pan edges during the final assembly.
  • This recipe works well for meal prepping; leftovers reheat nicely.
