Easy Lasagna Recipes
Lasagna takes a little time, but most of it is hands-off baking, and one dish feeds a crowd. Classic lasagna layers a beef and tomato sauce, ricotta and mozzarella and serves 12, while easy lasagna uses jarred marinara and no-boil noodles for 10 minutes of prep.
For something different, try lasagna bolognese with béchamel, white chicken lasagna, spinach and ricotta or roasted vegetable lasagna, lasagna roll-ups, Mexican lasagna with tortillas or zucchini lasagna made without noodles. Short on time? One-pan skillet lasagna is ready in 42 minutes and lasagna soup in 45.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to boil lasagna noodles first?
Not if you use no-boil (oven-ready) sheets. Make sure the sauce is a little looser than usual, because the sheets absorb liquid as they bake.
Why should lasagna rest before cutting?
Resting for 15 minutes lets the cheese and sauce set, so the slices hold together instead of sliding apart.
Can I freeze lasagna?
Yes. Freeze it baked or unbaked, well wrapped, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and bake until the centre reaches 74°C (165°F). Zucchini lasagna is the exception: it turns watery when frozen.
Can I make lasagna in a slow cooker?
Yes. Slow cooker lasagna layers uncooked noodles with the meat sauce, ricotta and mozzarella and cooks on LOW for 4-4½ hours, until the noodles are tender and the centre reaches 74°C (165°F).
