Crowd-Pleasing Sheet Pan Lasagna: THM S/LC

Let’s be honest, lasagna is a classic comfort food craving. But the traditional version? It’s often a carb-laden, cheese heavy affair that doesn’t exactly fit into a healthy eating plan. Enter the crowd-pleasing sheet pan lasagna, a game for a lower carb version! Or anyone looking for a delicious, easy, and healthier meal.

Lasagna is streamlined with this method.

I am sure there are people out there that don’t love lasagna, but for those of us that do, it can take a little effort with all of the layering. We ditch the layering and make a simple, flavorful sheet pan version of the classic recipe. It’s packed with protein too. This is my favorite way to make lasagna now. You get all of the flavor with less work!

Why this is worth making

If you love lasagna, this recipe is super easy to make. No more layering. You can customize this to make it perfect for your family. Add spinach to the ricotta cheese if desired. This makes a great meal prep as well. It makes enough that you can pack some away for lunches.

A few notes:

I used dreamfields lasagna noodles. If you can’t find them or don’t want to use them, here are a few ideas. Egg life wraps make noodles. That would be a great option. Palmini is another option. You could make “noodles” with zucchini or eggplants (I would precook those first since they contain a bit of liquid). I have used egg wraps as lasagna sheets in the past and no one could tell. That would be my pick if I didn’t have the noodles I have.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Lb Ground meat, I used a mixture of Italian sausage and lean ground beef
• 1 M/L Onion, diced
• 2 T Minced Garlic
• 1 t Salt
• 1/2 t Pepper
• 1 t Onion Powder
• 1 t Garlic Powder
• 1 t Italian Seasoning
• 1 Jar Marinara or Spaghetti Sauce
• 15 oz Ricotta Cheese
• 2-4 C Italian Cheese
• 1 C Parmesan Cheese
• 1 t Italian Seasoning

Instructions

• Cook onion in a little oil, I used olive oil. Once the onion is translucent, add garlic. Cook for a couple minutes.
  
• Add meat of choice to the onion.
  
• Cook the meat. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Add your sauce. I typically get the great value marinara.
  
• Prep your noodles. I broke my pasta up into smaller pieces.
  
• Cook your noodles if needed. This will depend on your noodles you are using. There are quite a few low carb options on Amazon. Add to your sauce when they are ready.
  
• Add cheese. I used 1 1/2 cup Italian cheese and 1/2 c parmesan.
  
• Once mixed, pour onto the sheet pan. I didn't spray mine, but you might need to.
  
• In a bowl add ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and about 1/2 cup of mozzarella or other cheese. I add Italian seasoning to the ricotta. If adding spinach or a veggie, add now. Stir.
  
• Dollop on top of the lasagna on the sheet pan.
  
• Sprinkle with more cheese if desired. I worked on making it cheesy but not too much cheese.
  
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-30 minutes. If you like your lasagna a bit crispy, bake it longer. I baked ours until bubbly but not too brown.
  
• Serve as desired. I just used a Caeser salad kit.
