Prep Time 20 Min | Cook Time 45 Min | Serves 6-8

Ingredients

  • 7 oz basil pesto sauce
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 lb lasagna sheets
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 balls burrata mozzarella
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare the lasagna sheets according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it has softened. Add in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside.
  • Evenly spread olive oil on the bottom of a large baking dish. Layer 1/4 of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the dish. Arrange the lasagna sheets lengthwise, side by side, slightly overlapping to cover the sauce. Layer the ricotta, pesto, shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, and Parmesan; then top with another layer of noodles and repeat.
  • Cover the lasagna with the remaining sauce, pesto, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Then, cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and place burrata cheese on top, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
