Our 38 All-Time-Best Lasagna Recipes

Lasagna is one of our favorite pasta dishes. It’s perfect for feeding a big crowd and a hit at potlucks. But most people reserve it for a weekend cooking project or Sunday dinner since it can be time-consuming to construct. When the craving hits midweek, we’ve got you covered. This easy lasagna recipe has everything we love (tender pasta, creamy ricotta and a rich tomato sauce) but it comes together in under an hour thanks to no-boil lasagna noodles and store-bought marinara. We zhuzh up the sauce with a glug of balsamic vinegar and a good swirl of butter, then a simple mix of ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan brings it all together. Bake it for a half hour and voila! A family-friendly weeknight dinner that everyone will love.

Savor caramelized cheese and crispy pasta with every bite of this sheet pan lasagna that's all browned bits and crunchy edges. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce if you like an extra kick of heat.

The best white lasagna has layers of tender noodles, meaty white Bolognese, creamy bechamel and plenty of mozzarella and Parmesan. This recipe has it all. You won’t miss the tomatoes—we promise! We top it all off with more cheese, then bake until melty and irresistibly golden brown. Serve it alongside a bright, crunchy salad for an impressive, family-friendly meal.

This lasagna recipe skips the onerous step of boiling lasagna noodles. Layer uncooked ones in the hearty turkey ragu and they will emerge from the oven fork-tender under their bubbling blanket of cheese.
