You need

To buy

  • 1 cup [113 grams] mozzarella, shredded

From your shelf

  • 1 package lasagna with meat sauce, meat sauce

Staples

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F [200°C]. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish or similar.
  2. Spread one-quarter of the meat sauce from the package over the bottom of the dish. Layer 2 cooked pasta sheets over the sauce, then spread another quarter of the sauce over them, then scatter 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella over the sauce.
  3. Repeat with 2 more pasta sheets, another quarter of the sauce, and 2 tablespoons mozzarella. Then add the final 2 pasta sheets, the remaining sauce, and the last 4 tablespoons mozzarella on top. Season the top lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake until the edges bubble, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered until the cheese colors and the sauce shows at the edges, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  5. Let rest for 2 minutes, then serve.

Note If you have ricotta on hand, spread a thin layer between the pasta sheets instead of mozzarella. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for three days and reheat gently in a 350°F oven. Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.
