Yield serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 pound ground beef
Salt and pepper
1 (1 pound 10-ounce) jar prepared spaghetti sauce
1 (9-ounce) box no-boil lasagna noodles
32 ounces ricotta cheese
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Peel the onion and chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel the garlic and finely chop.
  • Place the ground beef in a large sauté pan with the onions and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 10 to 12 minutes, until cooked through. Drain off any fat, season with salt and pepper, and add the garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the spaghetti sauce.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Spread a little of the sauce around the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Arrange 4 noodles down the center of the pan. (They won't go all the way to the sides of the pan, but they will expand as they cook and fill in the edges.) Spread one third of the sauce over the noodles and top with half of the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese. Continue the layering with noodles, another third of the sauce, the rest of the ricotta, more noodles, and cover with the remaining sauce. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. (The lasagna can be refrigerated for up to 1 day before baking.) Bake for 1 hour. Remove the aluminum foil, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Cut into 12 squares and serve warm.

  • This is an easy recipe to adjust for vegetarians. You can just leave out the meat, substitute zucchini for the ground beef, or add layers of spinach over the sauce. There are many more variations, but you get the idea.
