Family get-togethers feel special with easy lasagna al forno on the table—those golden, beautifully layered pieces never fail to bring smiles all around. Soft sheets of pasta team up with rich, hearty meat and a creamy béchamel sauce, all baked to that perfectly bubbling finish you want every time. The look is important here: you get beautiful layers with slightly crispy edges, a gorgeous golden top, and just enough cheesy flavor. Dig in and that fluffy texture (especially in the center) keeps every bite interesting, while the deep ragu Bolognese and signature Italian flavors give you that real-deal comfort. Families crave this kind of hearty, satisfying meal, especially because every plate feels so generous and warming. The good news? Classic Italian lasagna never goes out of style—everyone from picky kids to hungry adults just wants seconds. (Try it as a crowd-pleaser for big birthdays, Sunday get-togethers, or even holiday meals—always a hit.) The easy lasagna al forno recipe stays on regular rotation since it's famous for being DELICIOUS and visually nice too, plus those reliable results make it a favorite among home cooks.

Busy weeknights or weekends, homemade lasagna brings teams of benefits to the kitchen table. Home cooks like the flexibility since oven-baked pasta works great with swaps—try different cheeses, skip or add veggies, or play with seasonings for something new (keeps everyone happy, especially if kids want to try something different).

The moist middle matched with a slightly crispy top gives you that unique combo nobody gets bored with...and the generous servings help feed a group without fuss. It’s practical comfort that still feels a bit special, while the bright golden look signals something extra-nice is coming up for everyone at the table.

INGREDIENTS

Lasagne egg pasta 11.3 oz (320 g) - fresh

Prosciutto cotto 12.3 oz (350 g)

Mozzarella cheese 10.6 oz (300 g)

Grana Padano PDO cheese to taste

For the Ragù: Ground beef 12.3 oz (350 g); Tomato purée 4 cups (1 l); Yellow onions 1; Red wine 4 tbsp (60 g); Water 2 cups (500 ml); Extra virgin olive oil to taste; Fine salt to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Easy lasagna al forno

To prepare lasagna al forno, first of all peel the onion and chop it finely 1. Place it in a large pot with some oil 2 and let it brown for a few minutes at a medium temperature, then also add the ground beef 3.

Turn up the heat and brown, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon 4. When well browned, deglaze with red wine 5 and let the alcohol content evaporate. Lower the heat again and then add the tomato puree 6.

Rinse the pitcher using half a liter of water and pour it into the pot 7. Add a pinch of salt and stir again. Let it cook for 45 minutes 8; after this time the sauce should not have thickened too much 9.

Now, cut the mozzarella into small pieces 10. Use a large lasagna pan (about 12x8 inches) and spread a layer of sauce on the bottom 11. Create a first layer of pasta sheets, slightly overlapping them 12.

Add more sauce 13, then the grated Grana Padano PDO 14 and the mozzarella cubes 15.

Arrange the ham slices on top 16 and add some more sauce 17. Place a layer of pasta on top 18. Continue until all the ingredients are finished.

Remember that the last layer will consist only of pasta, sauce 19, grated cheese and mozzarella cheese 20. Bake in a conventional oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for about 45 minutes. Then bake and let it rest for a few minutes 21 before cutting and serving your rich baked lasagna!
