I LOVE sheet pan recipes over here. And this sheet pan lasagna might just be the most delicious way to make that layered pasta dish we all know and love. I was inspired by Giada De Laurentiis to make this from her Tiktok video. And wow she really nailed this recipe. I am obsessed with making it now and my kids also love it.

This is a really tasty well-balanced and flavorful meal that feeds the whole family. It is different then the typical lasagna because no layering involved and it’s quicker to cook but still so flavorful.

Sheet pan lasagna is also kid approved, has the most delicious crust on the edges that gets crunchy texture in each and every bite. And it’s all around a go-to over here for a weeknight dinner recipe. It’s ready in under an hour and my kids don’t complain, it feeds my husband and I and we get a couple of extra servings (woohoo!).

I cannot wait to hear what you guys think of this recipe! Let me know if you make it too.

How to make lasagna in a sheet pan:

FAQs on making lasagna in a sheet pan:

  • What is the best way to store leftovers? In an airtight container for 5 days. You can also freeze it too for up to 2 months.
  • Should I drained the ricotta cheese before using? If it has liquid in it then yes. Drain before mixing. But the one I buy doesn’t need to be.
  • Do you bake the lasagna covered or uncovered? I typically bake it uncovered since the baking sheet is shallow. This doesn’t need much baking time since it’s not layered and as deep.
  • Can I omit the beef if vegetarian? Absolutely! Feel free toe even sub ground turkey if you don’t like beef. Or some type of vegan meat alternative if you prefer.
