Description

Lasagna Wellington is a creative twist on classic lasagna, wrapped in a flaky pizza crust for a portable, impressive main dish. Layers of seasoned ground beef, marinara sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese are stacked between oven-ready lasagna sheets, then enveloped in dough and baked to golden perfection. This recipe yields a flavorful and hearty meal perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat Sauce and Layers

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Assembly and Baking

  • 1 Pillsbury pizza crust (14 x 18-inch rectangle)
  • 5 oven-ready lasagna pasta sheets
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tbsp garlic butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Brown Beef: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef while breaking it apart until it is fully browned. Add the diced onions and continue cooking until the onions become soft and translucent.
  2. Cook Garlic and Combine Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release its aroma. Add the marinara sauce, ricotta cheese, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly, then remove the mixture from heat to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Dough and First Layer: Roll out the pizza dough into a 14 x 18-inch rectangle on a flat surface. Lay one lasagna sheet on one end of the dough, leaving approximately a 2-inch border around all sides. Spoon the meat sauce mixture evenly over the pasta sheet, then sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Build Remaining Layers: Place another lasagna sheet on top of the cheese layer, then spread more meat sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cheese again. Repeat this process until all five lasagna sheets are stacked with sauce and cheese layers.
  5. Wrap and Seal the Dough: Carefully fold the dough over the layered lasagna sheets, bringing the edges together and pressing firmly to seal the dough completely around the filling.
  6. Bake the Lasagna Wellington: Transfer the wrapped lasagna to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the dough turns a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the Wellington from the oven and immediately brush the crust with the melted garlic butter for extra flavor and shine. Sprinkle the top with grated parmesan cheese. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving.

Notes

  • Use oven-ready lasagna sheets to avoid boiling pasta before assembly, which saves time.
  • Ensure the dough is sealed well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or a plant-based meat alternative for a different protein option.
  • Let the Wellington cool for about 10 minutes before slicing to help the layers set for clean cuts.
  • Serve with a fresh green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
