- Caprese Pasta Bake
- Cheesy Bacon Gnocchi Bake
- One Pan Cheese Ravioli Skillet
Ingredients
- 9 oz. package no-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 15 oz carton ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
- 1 lb. ground chuck
- 1 lb. ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry or semi-dry red wine can replace with water or chicken broth
- 1/8 teaspoon 2-3 dashes red pepper flakes
- 32-48 oz. marinara sauce your favorite
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or slices of fresh mozzarella
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- fresh basil rough chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg, ricotta and parsley. Set aside.
- In the Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, brown the beef and sausage. Drain the meat reserving 2 tablespoons fat (add 2 tablespoons olive oil, if there isn’t enough reserved fat). Transfer the drained meat to a large, heatproof bowl and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Add red wine, red pepper flakes and the marinara sauce and cook an additional 5 minutes. Transfer the marinara mixture to the bowl with the meat and mix to combine.
- With the Dutch oven over low-medium heat, ladle 2 cups of the marinara meat mixture into the bottom of the pot and cover the sauce with a layer of lasagna noodles (breaking the noodles to fit). Then, ladle the noodles with a layer of the marinara meat mixture.
- Place spoonfuls of the ricotta/egg mixture over the marinara mixture and then add some mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Repeat the layers three more times (except there will be only three layers with the ricotta mixture).
- The lasagna should be layered like this from the bottom layer to the top layer:
- Marinara meat sauce, noodles, marinara meat sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, Parmesan, noodles, marinara, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, noodles, marinara, ricotta, mozzarella, noodles, marinara, mozzarella and finish with Parmesan.
- Switch heat to low and cook, covered, 30-40 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through, and the lasagna is hot & bubbly. When the lasagna is cooked through and noodles have softened, it can be placed under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
- After removing the lasagna from the heat, garnish it with fresh basil and let it rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

amazing thanks for share
Just wondering how big your dutch oven is? Thanks ????
You can absolutely do it that way!
Hi Becky! Wow this looks fantastic! Do you think it would be possible to “build” the lasagna the night before, then pop it in the oven the next day? (So, preparing the recipe just as you do in the video, but refrigerate overnight before finishing in oven the next day?) Many thanks!
Is there a reason to do this on the stove top rather than baking it? I’m worried about burning the bottom!
Thanks, Taylor!
My family loved this lasagna. Perfect balance of flavors along with the perfect consistency and texture!
How big is the dutch oven you are making this in? It looks great. I think I am going to try to make it over a campfire!
Did you make it without the ricotta/cottage cheese mixture?
Oh I’m sorry!
While in theory this sounds good. This took way longer to cook than the recipe states.. should have just made it in the oven..
A 4 qt should work well :)
How big of a Dutch oven did you use? I have a 4 quart one would that be to small?
Thank you for sharing this lots of lovely
This sounds amazing! I just bought a Dutch oven and I can’t wait to try it!
What kind of sauce does everyone use? I’m still trying to find one that I enjoy besides Prego and Ragu.
Sure! Would be tasty.
Can I make this with zucchini noodles instead of pasta noodles? How would the recipe differ?
So glad you loved it!
Wow…Very delicious!. I think it will be easy to make such a yummy food. Thank you for publishing.
So i just bought my dutch oven and this was the first thing i cooked. Ricotta is hard to come by out here so i had to make a facsimile using reconstituted powdered milk and vinegar. Also, italian sausage is not available on this side of the planet, so i made a suitable substitute with ground pork and italian spices. Finally, i had to make my own marinara sauce from tomato sauce, paSte, diced tomatoes and spices. Needless to say, the prep time was more like an hour and a half, but the result was well worth it. It was a little bit salTy, probably from the combination of recipes and the salt in the cheeses. still it was a decent lasagna. Is the blakened quarter inch on the bottom unavoidable? Or did i have the heat too high when starting it? Thanks for posting this.
Oh good! I called my Mom and we were making sure that’s definitely how we made it. I adjusted the cook time just a bit in case it takes longer for other people as well. Thanks so much for letting me know you ended up loving it :)
Becky – even though it took a long time to cook, I wanted to let you know that it still tasted great! It was really cheesy and tasted like i imagined it would from the pictures! I’m definitely trying it again since this was my first attempt with a Dutch oven.
Darn I’m so sorry to hear that. We tried this more than once before posting so I’m not sure what could be wrong. It does sound like you followed the instructions correctly. Im so sorry it wasn’t a success!
This looked so good in the picture so I tried it with my new Dutch oven I got for Christmas! Followed recipe exactly with layers as listed and an hour later it’s still not done. Noodles AREN’T Cooked soft yet even though they are no boil kind and middle is not Hot! Are you sure the low temperature is correct? It sure looked amazing in the picture and the blog convinced me to try It! Not a great result for my first try at a Dutch oven!
I’m so sorry but this is a Dutch Oven recipe…you can definitely bake in a pan but I don’t know the exact proportions.
If i don’t have a dUtch oven handy what can i use instead? Can i bake it in a pan as an alternatiVe? Thanks!
It looks very tasty, I have to do it today for dinner.
Just want to comment on few general things, the website style is perfect, the written content is real great
How big is your dutch oven? Could I make this in a 4.5L size one?
You need to use this in location of a dutch oven. Ensure you seal it with tin foil or with outfitted lid. A different alternative is to make use of a slow cooker but this of path will more commonly take longer.
I think that this is the post I have been searching for, I am very happy to find it from here.Cooking is my favorite task and I like to do experiment on food, most of them will become success. You are provided a god recipe and I will definitely prepare it.
How long does it take to complete this article? I have read through other blogs, but they are cumbersome and confusing. I hope you continue to have such quality articles to share with everyone! I believe a lot of people will be surprised to read this article!
I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for newbie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

This looks amazing! I will definately give it a try!
I hope I will manage as I am not a great cook!
I made this yesterday exactly by the recipe. it was wonderful and looked just like the recipe photos.
Dutch ovens are usually used for one pot meals. If you have a large cast iron frying pan or any thick bottomed pot with a metal handle, you can use this in place of a dutch oven. Make sure you seal it with tin foil or with fitted lid. Another option is to use a slow cooker but this of course will probably take longer.
This is really delicious. viber for PC, x
