Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lasagna noodles
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- 1 clove garlic -minced
- 4 ounces ground beef
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ cup tomato sauce plus 2 tablespoons for the baking dish
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese -divided
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese -divided
- chopped fresh parsley -optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside. Tip: Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil to keep them from sticking.
- Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes until beef is no longer pink.
- Add tomato sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta, half the Parmesan, and half the mozzarella.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of meat sauce on the bottom of a 5x7-inch baking dish.
- Place noodles flat on a plate or board. Spread cheese mixture evenly over each noodle.
- Spoon 1/4 cup meat sauce over the cheese on each noodle. Reserve remaining sauce.
- Roll up noodles and place in the baking dish.
- Top with remaining sauce, then sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 8–10 minutes more, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Cook Noodles Al Dente: Slightly firm noodles hold up better when baked.
- Break Up the Beef: Cook ground beef into small crumbles for an even filling.
- Even Cheese Layer: Spread the cheese mixture evenly so every bite has flavor.
- Use the Right Dish: A 5x7-inch baking dish works best for this recipe.
