As a DIY enthusiast, I know that cooking can be a daunting task, but with this recipe, you will be surprised at how easy it is to make lasagna. Lasagna with Uncooked Noodles Let's start with the first recipe, which features uncooked noodles. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you do not have a lot of time to prepare dinner. To make this lasagna, you'll need the following ingredients and materials: Ingredients - 1 pound ground beef - 1 jar (24-26 ounces) of spaghetti sauce - 1 cup of water - 1 container (15 ounces) of ricotta cheese - 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese - 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese - 2 eggs - 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley - 6 uncooked lasagna noodles - Salt and pepper to taste Materials - Large skillet - Large bowl - 9x13 inch baking dish - Aluminum foil - Oven To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat and add salt and pepper to taste. Drain the excess fat and stir in spaghetti sauce and water. In a large bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, and parsley. To assemble the lasagna, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the baking dish. Take three uncooked lasagna noodles and place them on top of the sauce. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture on top of the noodles. Repeat this for the next layer - 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce, three uncooked lasagna noodles, and the remaining cheese mixture. Finally, add the remaining meat sauce on top of the noodles. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the lasagna. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted on top. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving. Lasagna Skillet Our second recipe is a skillet lasagna. This recipe is perfect for a quick and easy dinner. You'll need the following ingredients and materials: Ingredients - 1 pound ground beef - 1/2 cup onion, chopped - 2 cloves garlic, chopped - 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained - 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce - 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 6 uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1 cup ricotta cheese Materials - Large skillet with lid - Wooden spoon To begin, brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once browned, add diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and then add the broken lasagna noodles. Stir to ensure all the noodles are coated in the sauce. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 25 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Remove the skillet from the stove and add ricotta cheese, stirring to combine. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the lasagna mixture. Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
