Simple Make Ahead Lasagna

 

It's always nice to be able to prepare dishes in advance of a dinner party. I have used this recipe several times in the recent past and it's a great lasagna.  Double it for a crowd!

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 2-600 ml jars pasta sauce (Classico is a favorite over here) sauce
  • 1-454 gr ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
  • 3-4 cups of shredded Mozzarella or Italian cheese blend
  • 1 package no-cook lasagna noodles
  1. Grease 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In large skillet, cook and crumble ground beef over medium high until no longer pink. Drain.
  3. Stir in pasta sauce.
  4. Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in 9x13 pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Layer noodles, half ricotta cheese, one cup mozza cheese and 1/3 of meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with noodles, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake (8 hours or overnight).
  7. Preheat oven to 375°.
  8. Bake covered, for 45 minutes.
  9. Bake uncovered, for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  10. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
