Dutch Oven Lasagna – Stove Top Lasagna
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!

Fantastic ! Easy! Even a single Dad with rudimentary culinary skills can make it ! Literally including time to get ingredients at store took 40 minutes to prepare I also put in oven at 350 for 45 minutes and then broiled until top was sufficiently browned
I used ground beef only. Used powdered onion and garlic on the beef and eliminated any of the dress herbs other than dash of basil on top at end. My son loved it and had 3 plates of it. It’s a winner !!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Can the leftovers be frozen? Meal was great but have half left
Yes, try to get as much air out of it as possible before you freeze!
This recipe is so amazing! Made it for dinner last night! It was aldente even after cooking 15 minutes longer and sitting for 15 minutes before cutting. It was delicious will definitely make again.
Thanks for stopping by, Hollie!
Turned out great!
Thanks for sharing, Dave!
This recipe was super delicious, super easy, so amazing😋 changed up the sauce to my liking a little bit, and baked it in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes then uncovered for 15 and broil for five 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you!!
Thanks for stopping by, Tina!
Had to cook it about 15 minutes longer than the recipe but came out great!
The noodles didn’t cook and everything on the bottom of the pot burnt to a crisp!
I am sorry that this recipe didn’t work out for you, Amy!
It was delicious, but my cook top surface leaves much to be desired in maintaining a stable temperature so there was some scorching at the bottom. Even so, it didn’t affect the flavor. I tried to upload a photo, but it was blocked for exceeding 2 megabytes for a simple image.
I am sorry it didn’t quite work out exactly how you wanted but happy to hear the flavor was still there!
Is this 924kcal per serving or for the whole meal?
That’s if you have it as a serving size for 6!
How long would this go in the oven for, if we’d rather bake it that way?
Preheat oven to 350°F for 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake another 15 minutes or until cheese melts and sauce is bubbling. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Oops, I meant to type bake in preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes.
