How to Make this Easy Lasagna
To prepare, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- The sausage and ground beef should be browned together in a big skillet over medium heat. Drain off and discard any fat. Add the minced garlic and spaghetti sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Combine the ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, eggs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper in a big bowl. Mix well.
- Before assembling, coat the bottom of the baking pan with ¾ cup of sauce. Cover the bottom with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles. Place a ¼ of the sauce and ⅓ of the cheese mixture on top. Repeat layers (noodles, cheese, sauce, noodles, cheese, sauce).
- Add 3 noodles, the remaining sauce, and the last cup of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the top layer.
- Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Cover with the pan with aluminum foil (sprayed side down). This prevents the cheese from sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Ten minutes should pass before slicing and serving the lasagna.
If your sauce is thick and hearty, brush the pan’s edges with ½ cup water. You won’t need as much water if your sauce is runnier, like Rao’s marinara or Old World Style Ragu.

How to Reheat Lasagna
In order to reheat lasagna leftovers in a pan, cover it with foil and bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in an oven that has been preheated. Bake it until the internal temperature reaches 165º F. This should take at least half an hour, but it might take up to fifty minutes, depending on how much is left.
Individual slices can also be reheated in the microwave on a plate.
