You get all the comfort of classic lasagna baked quickly on a sheet pan. This recipe uses no-boil noodles and minimizes layering for fast prep and easy cleanup, delivering those sought-after crispy edges.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 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 large, rimmed sheet pan.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the minced garlic until the beef is browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  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. Lay three no-boil lasagna noodles over the sauce layer.
  7. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with one cup of the mozzarella cheese, then top with one-third of the remaining meat sauce.
  8. Repeat the layering: three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, another cup of mozzarella, and another third of the meat sauce.
  9. Place the final three noodles on top. Cover the entire pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes covered.
  11. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Let the sheet pan lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Using no-boil noodles is key for this quick sheet pan dinner idea.
  • For extra crispy edges, ensure the sauce and cheese reach the very edges of the pan.
  • This recipe is a great example of minimal cleanup meals for busy nights.
