Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 TBS parsley
  • 1 TBS oregano
  • Gluten free oven ready lasagna noodles (or any gf lasagna noodle)
  • CHEESE SAUCE
  • 15 oz reduced fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 TBS parsley
  • 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup ramano cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375
  2. Place a dutch over or large pot over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, ground beef and diced onion.
  3. Cook until the beef is no longer pink. Add the garlic and saute another minute.
  4. Add the marinara sauce, salt, pepper, oregano and parsley. Bring to a simmer then cover and cook 5-10 minutes.
  5. If not using oven ready gluten free lasagna noodles, cook your noodles according to the box directions.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, egg and parsley. Mix well.
  7. In a small bowl combine the grated parmesan and ramano cheese.
  8. Spread about 1/2 cup of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish.
  9. Add 3 noodles and spread 1/3 of the meat sauce. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella and spoon on 1/2 of your cheese sauce. Sprinkle with 1/3 of your parmesan and ramano mixture.
  10. Repeat - 3 noodles, 1/3 meat sauce, 1 cup mozzarella, the rest of the cheese sauce and 1/3 of your parmesan and ramano mixture.
  11. Add 3 noodles, the remaining meat sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and the rest of your parmesan and ramano cheese mixture.
  12. Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray (to keep the cheese from sticking). Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
  13. Remove the foil and broil for 5 minutes until the cheese turns golden brown.
  14. Let the lasagna sit for 15-20 minutes before cutting- it'll hold together better and not slide apart!

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Friendly: Use gluten-free oven-ready lasagna noodles or your preferred gluten-free pasta sheets.
    Make Ahead Tip: Assemble the lasagna up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Add 5–10 minutes to baking time if baking cold.
    Freezer Friendly: Fully baked lasagna freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and reheat covered.
    Cheese Tip: Shredding mozzarella fresh gives better melt and stretch than pre-shredded cheese.
    Clean Slices: Let the lasagna rest at least 15 minutes before cutting—this helps it hold together.
    Serving Suggestion: Pair with a simple salad or gluten-free garlic cheese toast for a complete meal.
