HOW TO MAKE EASY LAZY DAY LASAGNA, IF YOU LIKED IT SAY HELLO
- 1 lb dry lasagna noodles (you’ll use a little more than half the box)
- 1 lb lean ground beef (or half beef and half pork)
- 24 oz jar marinara or pasta sauce – your favorite brand
- 2/3 cup water
- 15 oz container ricotta or cottage cheese
- 12 oz mozzarella cheese divided
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
-
Preheat the oven to 375.
-
Lightly spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Spread 2/3 cups of the marinara sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
-
Top with lasagna noodles.
-
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Drain off the fat.
-
Pour in the remaining marinara sauce. Add the water to the jar, replace the lid and shake to loosen up the remaining sauce. Pour into the skillet and stir in.
-
Simmer the meat sauce for 5 minutes.
-
Scatter about one-third of the ricotta cheese on top of the lasagna noodles. Sprinkle on 3 oz of the mozzarella cheese. Top with about one-third of the meat sauce.
-
Add another layer of lasagna noodles and press down slightly.
-
Repeat with ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and meat sauce – two more times.
-
Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
-
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes until the noodles are fork-tender. (The additional water and the steam created by covering the baking dish will cook the noodles.)
-
Remove aluminum foil and bake for another 7-8 minutes or until cheese is nice and bubbly.
-
Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
