It’s no secret, I like easy dinners. I love to bake, but when it comes to dinner, I like something that requires little work on my part 😉
Most of the time when you think of a dish like lasagna, you think cheesy, gooey comfort food……..but time-consuming. But not this beef and ricotta lasagna recipe!! I’ve been making this dish since I was about 15. It’s the lasagna recipe I made in junior high home ec class. Why do they no longer call it “junior high”…..it’s now called middle school.
I digress, I was so excited to make this fabulous lasagna for my parents and brother back then, it doesn’t take a lot of skills, but makes one heck of an Italian dish, any level cook would be proud to put on the table!
After that night, I was dubbed “lasagna maker” in the family, and now 30 years later, it’s still the same lasagna recipe I use. I first posted this easy lasagna recipe back in 2009 and I thought it was time to bring this star of our family recipes back out! I made a few tiny changes that involved cheese last week. Total cheese-fest = best batch of lasagna ever!
Since back to school is looming around the corner, and schedules are going to start getting busy, this is a great recipe for any weeknight or, make a big batch for Sunday dinner and freeze a pan for a really quick weeknight meal! Read this post for pasta fix it and freeze it tips.
Be sure to serve this family favorite lasagna with a stack of napkins! 😉

I used thin zucchini rounds instead of noodles to lower the carb count, and it turned out really well!

Lasagna is one of my very favorite dinners, I’ve never tried it with cream cheese, sounds delish! I shared this on facebook and pinning!
It makes it rich and creamy!!! Let me know what you think if you try it!
Wait, you can freeze lasagna? I’ve never had a batch make it past the dinner table! My recipe could use some updating, though, I think I will try your version!

Hi! I made this (3 pans actually LOL a friend had a baby and another had a house fire…) earlier this week. Just wanted to say it took me more like 45/50 mins (I was only baking one pan, not all 3). In case you are a mom on a countdown to bedtime, you might want to pop it in the oven a little earlier than you planned to give yourself extra cook time 🙂
so odd, I’ve been making this for 35 years now, and 30 minutes has always worked for me. Thanks for the input! 😉
This sounds so good! Just one question, is it.3 cups each of mozzarella and provolone or 3 cups combined?
it’s 2-3 cups of cheese – I used Sargento mozzarella & provolone http://www.sargento.com/products/88/sargento-artisan-blends-shredded-mozzarella-provolone-cheese/
