One Pot Lasagna Pasta
I’m excited to once again partner with Tuttorosso Tomatoes to bring you this post and recipe.
I’m a huge fan of quick and easy meals. Weeknights are hard right? We don’t have kids but sometimes I feel like we have so much going on. Too much to do and yes, even though I write and cook and run this blog, we also run out of ideas for dinner.
When one pot pastas came on to the scene, I was so intrigued and once I started trying them like this one and this one with mushrooms, I became obsessed.
The only reason I call this one a one pot lasagna pasta is because I added ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and of course beef…and it’s so easy to make.
It’s so simple to make and as long as you have great ingredients, it tastes amazing!
Can we talk tomatoes? Namely canned tomatoes…I am in love with Tuttorosso tomatoes. Last year, I attended an event in Atlanta with them and they showed us how to cut and taste tomatoes. It might sound strange but have you ever tasted the canned tomatoes that you buy?
They sent me their whole plum tomatoes along with another brand’s whole plum tomatoes. When I opened both cans, I can tell the difference in quality. The Tuttorosso tomatoes are whole tomatoes, the other ones are in pieces. The texture and color, such a difference. When you taste the two different brands, there’s a huge difference, you guys.
And my friend was really interested in this when I told her about this…she did a blind taste test and told me she liked the taste of Tuttorosso’s tomatoes better.
Let’s talk about this recipe. First we’re going to cook the onions…
and the ground beef.
Once it’s browned, remove the beef with a slotted spoon and then wipe the pan clean.
Add the pasta with the Tuttorosso tomatoes…
and also add the olive oil, water, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and basil.
And then mix it all up.
Bring it to a boil, once it’s boiling, cook it for another 9 to 10 minutes.
Add the beef and mix.
Add both cheeses.
This recipe is soooo good! We loved it, our friends loved it…and even better, it reheats well.
What to have for dinner, problem solved and you’ll thank me for it!

Dishes are my NEMESIS, so I am all about one pan meals like these!
I am ALL ABOUT the one pot pastas right now…I LOVE this! The whole family would eat it, which is perfect.
EPIC!!!
Brilliance!!!
I LIVE for one-pot recipes and this looks AMAZING!!
IN the recipe, the 2nd ingredient is 2 garlic cloves and then the 9th ingredient is 5 garlic cloves. So should you use 7 total ??
Hi Beth,
Yes! I used 2 garlic cloves in the meat and then 5 garlic cloves in the rest of the dish. I wanted to make sure it’s understood that you need it for both parts. I should have differentiated that the first section was for the meat…I’ll do that now. Hope that helps!
that before and after shot is just perfect!! this looks absolutely delicious 🙂
I could live on this recipe! My daughter loves the bowtie pasta so we always use it too. 🙂
I love washing dishes but I hate drying them, so I then circle back to not wanting to do dishes. So you have done me a great service here, and given me DELICIOUS CARBS. I love you.
