A quick and easy gluten-free lasagna recipe using no-boil noodles and a rich, creamy cheese blend that delivers classic lasagna flavor without the hassle of boiling noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Gluten-Free No-Boil Lasagna Noodles (sturdy, wide noodles, e.g., Barilla Gluten-Free)
  • 15 ounces (425 grams) whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups (12 ounces / 340 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (4 ounces / 115 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups (950 ml) marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • A handful of fresh basil, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add chopped fresh basil if using.
  3. Spread about 1 cup (240 ml) of marinara sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Place a single layer of gluten-free no-boil noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly but not crowded.
  5. Spoon one-third of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, spreading gently and evenly.
  6. Sprinkle about 1 cup (113 g) shredded mozzarella evenly over the ricotta layer, then lightly sprinkle about 1/3 cup (35 g) grated Parmesan.
  7. Repeat layering noodles, sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella, and Parmesan two more times, finishing with a top layer of noodles, sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  8. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep moisture in and bake for 40 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  10. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving to set and make slicing easier.

Notes

If sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of water or broth to help noodles soften. Do not skip resting step after baking to allow lasagna to set and slice cleanly. Use no-boil gluten-free noodles specifically for best texture. For easier cleanup, lining the pan with parchment paper is optional.
