Ricotta-Free Lasagna

I decided to make my lasagna ricotta-free due to the fact that I have siblings who strongly dislike ricotta. This is a go-to recipe when your on a time crunch and need to throw something together quickly. The quantity of ingredients needed will differ depending on the size of your family, so you will have to estimate on what you will need in order to prepare this lasagna.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- 2
Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Once the noodles are done cooking, rinse in warm water to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
- 3
In a large frying pan, cook ground beef until brown. Add desired amount of salt and pepper; set aside.
- 4
Take out your lasagna dish or casserole dish and lay down a light layer of your favorite tomato sauce.
- 5
Next, put down a layer of the cooked lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of ground beef, mozzerella, and Parmesan. Begin a new layer starting with the noodles this time then add the tomato sauce on top, repeat the process as listed until ingredients are gone.
- 6
Once all the layers are completed, add fresh basil leaves on top. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese has turned into a lovely golden brown.

Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before cutting. This will insure that your slices will hold together when dishing out.

Pairs beautifully with garlic bread or a refreshing salad!

Lasagna has been a family favorite for a long time, specifically for individuals who are limited in their cooking time or abilities. This recipe is guaranteed to taste delicious and satisfy your cravings. The best part about it is that it contains no meat yet everyone loves it !(*) Adding 1/2 pack of Gardein plant-based ground be'f instead of the whole pack will make the sauce less thick and the lasagna more juicy. Recommended for people who prefer it that way. Veggie K -

Easy Lasagna Easy Lasagna
On the back of a box of Mullers Pasta, there is a recipe for an "easy lasagna bake." I've tweaked their recipe over the years. I like hot Italian sausage in mine but it's also good with sweet sausage, ground beef, or even ground turkey. This is very filling and affordable. It costs under $15.00 to make. It's about the size of a family-sized lasagna dinner you find in the frozen section at the supermarket but tastier. #Fakeaway frozen lasagna. Raven -
Simple Meatless Lasagna Simple Meatless Lasagna
I originally learned this recipe from a friend in college and have modified it over time to taste the best to us. This is soooo easy to make! The only truly lengthy part of this recipe is waiting for it to bake, and that's agonyyyyy. What's done in a flash is throwing it all together and popping it in the oven.Using "oven ready" lasagna, jarred sauce, and going meatless cuts down on a significant amount of time. Not to mention it's nice to go meatless once in a while. StephieCanCook -
