This One Pot Lazy Lasagna might just be the best way to enjoy classic lasagna without the hassle of making it the traditional way. You guys asked for one pot, easy meals and this is one of them! Here’s what you’ll need for about 6 servings: • 2 + 1/2 cups water • About 8 lasagna noodle sheets, broken (we love using @barilla brand) • 2 cups mozzarella, freshly shredded • 1/2 cup Ricotta • 28 oz. marinara sauce • 15 oz. can of crushed tomato • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced • Handful of garlic cloves, diced (measure with your heart) • 1 tsp. each of Italian seasoning and oregano • 1/2 tsp. each of crushed red pepper, sea salt and cracked black pepper • Handful of fresh basil (the more, the merrier) • Ground meat, optional Here’s how to make it: 1. Combine olive oil, diced onions and garlic into a large oven safe braiser or deep dish skillet. Cook for a few minutes until translucent and fragrant. If using meat, add 1/2 lb. ground meat in this step and cook until little pink is visible. Don’t worry, it will finish cooking in the sauce. 2. Add marinara sauce, crushed tomato, seasonings, lasagna pieces and water. Mix to combine. Do not skip the spices! Resist the urge to not measure the water. Don’t add more or less noodles. The water to noodle ratio helps cook the pasta evenly and brings the sauce together. If you change it, you need to also change the other measurements. 3. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cover with a lid for 10 minutes. Frequently stir to prevent noodles sticking together and to the bottom of the pan. Then, remove the cover and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes until the pasta is cooked and the sauce is slightly thicker. Stir frequently. 4. Cover the entire surface with shredded mozzarella first, then dollops of ricotta. Broil on high in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly, crispy and golden brown. Garnish with lots of fresh basil and additional crushed red pepper. . . . . #pasta #pastarecipe #reels #cheesyfood #pastalover #lasagna #lasagnarecipe #lazylasagna #italianfood #huffposttaste #thecookfeed #cookingreels #dinner #easyrecipes #gloobyfood #goodeats #wholefoods #lecreuset #tasty #bakecookrepeat
