Easy Cheesy Lasagna (No Boil)
60 min
Steps
- First pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. We won't be boiling any noodles (hallelujah) so you can get right to the sauce!!
- Making the Sauce
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat and add in the meat, onion, pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is completely browned. (about 5-7 minutes)
- Drain the beef (if necessary) then turn off the heat and add in the marinara sauce. Stir to combine.
- Making the Ricotta Filling
- In a large bowl, add the ricotta cheese, 2 eggs, and 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese. Beat together with a hand mixer or a spatula. (The mixer makes this so much easier!)
- Layering and Baking
- Spray your pan with non-stick spray (to save your sanity later) and then add a couple spoonfuls of the meat sauce to the bottom of the pan.
- Then add your noodles. I don't even buy the "no-bake" noodles. You can use regular noodles and the heat from the oven will cook them just fine. Break them up as you need to fit your pan.
- Take half of the ricotta mixture and spread it over the noodles.
- Then take 6 of your provolone cheese slices and lay them over the ricotta mixture.
- Repeat the layers (sauce, noodles, ricotta, provolone) and end with a layer of sauce.
- Sprinkle the extra mozzarella cheese over the top of the last layer of the sauce.
- Cover with aluminum foil. (I spray the aluminum foil with non-stick spray before putting it on so it doesn't stick and pull the cheese off)
- Bake for 45 minutes covered, and then remove the foil and bake for 15 more minutes.
