One-pan lasagna (everything in one dish)
A viral recipe from TikTok – simplified everyday lasagna with maximum flavor and minimal washing-up.
- 4-6 servings
- 15 ingredients
- 14 steps
It's no wonder this recipe went viral on TikTok! This is a smart and time-efficient lasagna where everything is cooked directly in the same baking dish. Meat sauce, uncooked lasagna sheets and cheese are baked together until the pasta is soft, the sauce rich, and the top golden and bubbling. The result is a creamy, family-friendly lasagna that requires far less work than the classic version.
Perfect comfort food when you want that real lasagna feeling without standing at the stove for ages.
Here's how!
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F), top/bottom heat.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds or so.
- Add the ground meat and brown until fully cooked.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, water/stock, tomato paste and seasonings.
- Let the sauce simmer for 5–10 minutes.
- Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
- Break the lasagna sheets into pieces and place on top.
- Dollop over the crème fraîche or ricotta and sprinkle with a little cheese.
- Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used up, finishing with plenty of cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the top is golden.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Serving
Serve straight from the dish, preferably with a simple green salad. The lasagna tastes even better the next day, if anything, and works great as leftovers.
Tips!
- If you want extra creaminess, you can add a little cream to the sauce.
- Swap the ground meat for ground chicken or plant-based mince if needed.
- If the pasta feels too firm – add a little extra liquid and bake for a few more minutes.
Want to vary the dish? You can:
- swap cheddar for mature Swedish farmer's cheese
- blend the soup lightly for a smoother texture
- add a pinch of chili flakes for heat
- serve with toasted sourdough bread
