A hearty vegetarian lasagna recipe that’s so satisfying, you won’t miss the meat. This is the ultimate meatless lasagna trick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, beaten egg, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  5. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
  6. Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  7. Layer 3 noodles over the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Repeat the layers: 3 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  9. Top with the final 3 noodles, remaining tomato sauce, and remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  10. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the ricotta mixture.
  • You can make this recipe ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • This lasagna freezes well. Let it cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
