Sheet pan lasagna is a crispy, cheesy twist on classic lasagna, made flat on a baking sheet for quicker cooking, more golden edges, and easier cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 912 lasagna noodles (oven-ready or pre-boiled)
  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups crushed tomatoes or marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Sauté diced onion and garlic until soft.
  3. Add ground beef or sausage and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes or marinara, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese with the egg, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a bit of Parmesan.
  6. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the sheet pan.
  7. Layer lasagna noodles across the pan, breaking as needed to fit.
  8. Spread ricotta mixture over the noodles, then meat sauce, then mozzarella. Repeat layers (2–3 times).
  9. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden.
  11. Cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

Use oven-ready noodles to save time, or pre-boil regular ones.Don’t skimp on sauce—this keeps the noodles from drying out.Tent with foil for the first half of baking if you’re worried about dryness.Use a standard 18×13 inch sheet pan for best results.Great for prepping ahead—assemble and refrigerate until ready to bake.
