Nothing beats lasagna as a get-together meal. The layered pasta delivers comfort and flavor. Our collection of lasagna recipes includes classics like nonna made with pork and beef, and meat-free options with spinach, butternut squash, or eggplant and mushrooms. And then there are less traditional versions: a slow-cooker iteration, a version in which corn tortillas replace the pasta, and a summery no-bake recipe.

The formula of sauce, noodles, cheese, repeat bakes into a delicious, deeply comforting dinner—and who doesn't need that?

Lasagna With Meat Sauce

Lasagna in Pan

This is our ultimate lasagna. It wins for both flavor and ease of prep. Layers of ground beef and Italian sausage in a rich tomato sauce are alternated with the classic ricotta-mozzarella-Parmesan cheese mixture. It's one to bookmark.

Very Vegetable Lasagna

There's a lot to love about this vegetable-packed lasagna. Strips of blanched zucchini stand in for some of the noodles, lightening up the dish. We add frozen spinach to the ricotta layer, and you can use good-quality store-bought or your favorite homemade marinara sauce along with no-boil noodles.
