Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle in olive oil, and add the ground beef.
Step 3
Boil the lasagna noodles for only 4 to 5 minutes so they remain very al dente.
Step 4
Drain the excess fat from the cooked ground beef into a small bowl to keep the sauce from becoming too greasy.
Step 5
Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray, lay out the boiled noodles, and cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Boil the dry noodles for only 4-5 minutes so they are extremely al dente. If boiled until soft, they will become mushy after baking in the oven.
Draining the excess grease from the browned ground beef is a crucial step to avoid a greasy lasagna.
Always start assembly with a layer of sauce on the bottom of the dish to prevent the bottom noodles from burning or sticking.
Letting the baked lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing allows the structure to set so you get clean, beautiful layers instead of a messy pile.
