One Pot Lasagna Ingredients
- No boil lasagna noodles: Using no boil noodles means you can skip the boiling part and get right to assembling the lasagna.
- Ricotta: Use ricotta cheese for the filling, or substitute cottage cheese.
- Beef: Use ground chuck.
- Italian Sausage: I love adding sausage into the mix with the beef. But you can skip the sausage and add more beef if you prefer.
- Wine: Use a dry or semi-dry red wine. Or replace with an equal amount of water or broth instead.
- Marinara: You can use your favorite jarred sauce, or make some homemade marinara.
You can see the full ingredients list in the recipe card.

Easy Dutch Oven Lasagna Dinner
This stove top lasagna is one of those EASY Dutch Oven recipes that you’ll make again and again. I cannot wait for you guys to try this and let me know how you like it. I have a feeling you’re going to make it part of the rotation around your table.
One pot meals are always the best for the busy weeknight dinners when doing dishes is the absolute last thing you want to be stuck doing. Or on weekends when the fun is calling! Nothing better than noodles, tomatoes, cheese, and basil. It’s just that simple.
Once the ingredients are prepared and the lasagna has been assembled, it will need about 30-40 minutes to cook.
Absolutely! You can use a dutch oven on the stove or in the oven.
If you prefer, use ground chicken in place of beef. You could also use chicken sausage if you like.
Yes, place the lid on the dutch oven while the lasagna cooks on the stove.
We’re mixing an egg into the ricotta cheese to help hold it together. This keeps it from getting too runny when cooked.
If you can’t find no-boil lasagna noodles, you can use regular noodles for this recipe. You’ll just have to boil them beforehand, and then follow the recipe as is.
Serving Suggestions
This easy lasagna recipe is so cheesy, and will be more than welcome at dinnertime. Of course your focus will be on the main dish, but a few side dishes never hurt. Serve it up with some bread, a salad, and maybe some veggies. Or serve a fun appetizer before dinner!
- Garlic Pull Apart Rolls or Focaccia
- Spinach Salad or Kale Caesar Salad
- Tomato Bruschetta or Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
- Three Cheese Asparagus or Cheesy Roasted Veggies
Tips!
- Keep a large mixing bowl next to the stove, so you can use it to mix the meat and sauce between steps.
- When assembling the lasagna, start with a layer of sauce, otherwise the noodles will stick to the bottom
- The lasagna is done when the noodles have hydrated/softened, everything is fully heated through, and the cheese will be hot and bubbly.
- If you like, place dutch oven under the broiler for a couple of minutes to brown.
- It will be very hot when you dig in, so let the lasagna rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to 4 days.
What are no boil lasagna noodles?
No-boil lasagna noodles are exactly what they sound like: they’re noodles that don’t need to be boiled before layering into the lasagna. This means you can skip a step, assemble the lasagna, and make everything in one pot! The noodles will absorb moisture from other ingredients (like the sauce and ricotta) and hydrate as it cooks. This little hack sounds like magic, and it makes this lasagna recipe so easy!
What are the benefits of using a dutch oven?
This is one of my kitchen essentials! Much like a good cast iron skillet, a dutch oven can be used in so many different ways. It’s sturdy and has a heavy bottom, which is great for even heating. You can use it on the stove (like we do with this lasagna recipe), put it in the oven, make soups and stews, braise meats, or even make homemade bread.
If you don’t already have one, I highly recommend investing in one for your kitchen!
