Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 10 oz ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 Pillsbury pizza crust
- 5 fresh lasagna pasta sheets, oven-ready (5.5 x 9.5 inches each, or more if using smaller noodles)
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons garlic butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until beef is browned and onions are soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Lay the pizza crust flat on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the lasagna sheets down the center of the crust, slightly overlapping.
- Spread half of the meat sauce over the pasta sheets, then add dollops of ricotta cheese and a layer of shredded mozzarella.
- Repeat with another layer of pasta, meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella until all ingredients are used (ending with mozzarella on top).
- Fold the sides of the pizza dough over the lasagna filling, overlapping slightly to create a sealed “Wellington.” Pinch edges to secure.
- Brush the entire crust with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra marinara on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add cooked Italian sausage along with the ground beef.
- If your lasagna sheets are smaller, overlap them slightly so the filling doesn’t leak through.
- This dish can be prepped ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
