Equipment

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced shallot and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Then, add the ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture with the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in the spinach until just wilted.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In your prepared sheet pan, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce mixture on the bottom. Next, add a layer of the cooked lasagna noodles, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese, and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous topping of marinara sauce, remaining mozzarella, and grated parmesan.
  5. Cover the sheet pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Once out of the oven, let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your delicious Easy Sheet Pan Lasagna!
