Love lasagna with minced meat, but don’t have time to fuss with dough - cook it in the oven from thin pita bread. This is the so-called lazy lasagna , which is made at home using Armenian flatbread. It’s much faster and easier to prepare, and the result is just as good. In real Italian lasagne, special sheets of dough are used. The taste is reminiscent of a multi-layer pie with minced meat, traditionally soaked in two types of sauce: tomato and white Bechamel.
Connoisseurs and connoisseurs of the dish, of course, will notice the replacement, but are unlikely to be outraged, since the taste of the filling will remain unchanged. And the cooking speed will decrease significantly. Use any minced meat, including chicken, but it’s even better to make a mix of several types of meat. I offer you several options for oven-baked lasagna, choose and cook with pleasure.

Lasagna with pita bread
To make pita lasagna you will need:
- chicken meat (fillet) – 500 g
- mushrooms (champignons) – 300 g
- onions – 3 pcs.
- tomatoes – 5-8 pcs.
- thin Armenian lavash – 2-3 sheets
- salt and ground black pepper - to taste
- hard cheese – 300 g
- for the sauce:
- butter – 100 g
- flour - 4 tbsp.
- milk – 1 l
Method for preparing lasagna from pita bread:
- So, we start by peeling the onions and then cutting them into half rings. Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and cut them into small slices. Then heat a little vegetable (olive) oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped onion in it (until soft and golden), then add the tomatoes. Fry everything together for another 3 minutes and transfer the vegetables to a separate plate.
- Now rinse the meat under cold water, cut it into small pieces and add salt to them. Fry the chicken in the same frying pan with the addition of vegetable (olive) oil until cooked (salt, add black pepper and other favorite spices if desired). Place the finished chicken in a separate bowl.
- We thoroughly wash the champignons (although you can also use other mushrooms) under running water and chop them finely. Fry them in a frying pan with a small amount of oil. Don't forget to salt and pepper them. Cook until the mushrooms are nicely browned and all the liquid has evaporated.
- Now let's start preparing the sauce. So, melt the butter in a small saucepan, and then add flour to it in small portions and mix everything well (do this over low heat until a pleasant “nutty” smell appears). Then pour the milk into the saucepan in a thin stream and mix everything very quickly (so that there are no lumps). Add salt, pepper to taste and other spices. Cook the sauce over low heat until it thickens to the consistency of thick sour cream.
- It should be noted that nutmeg is also added to classic bechamel (at the tip of the knife). And the milk, before pouring into the flour, is first boiled, and then set to cool along with a bay leaf (under the lid).
- After this, we grease the form in which we will prepare the lasagna with vegetable oil and cover it with the first sheet of fresh Armenian lavash. We grease it with the prepared sauce, and on top we put half of the fried vegetables, half of the chicken, cover it with mushrooms and cover everything with grated cheese.
- Next, cover the second sheet of pita bread, well, and repeat the procedure of laying out the filling (sauce, vegetables, then chicken, mushrooms and grated cheese). We repeat the layers of lavash and filling several more times (3-5, depending on the amount of filling and lavash sheets).
- The last layer should be a sheet of pita bread, which we grease with the rest of the sauce and sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
- Place the lasagna in a preheated oven (up to 170-190 degrees) for about 15-20 minutes.
- We take the finished pita lasagna out of the oven, let it cool slightly, and then cut it into portions. Serve the dish hot.
Bon Appetit everyone!

- mozzarella 300 g
- parmesan 150 g
- minced meat (any) 500 g
- tomatoes 500 ml
- garlic 1 clove
- chili pinch
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- butter (for greasing the mold)
Fry the minced meat in olive oil until slightly golden brown. In the process, crush it thoroughly with a spatula or spoon so that the lumps are as small as possible. Salt and pepper.
Grate the cheese: mozzarella on a coarse grater, parmesan on a fine grater.
Finely chop the garlic.

Pour the pureed tomatoes into the frying pan, add salt and pepper and cook for 15 minutes over low heat until thickened.
Cut 4 rectangles from the pita bread according to the shape of the bottom of the baking container. It's okay if the corners are rounded, that's normal. The main thing is to try to choose the smoothest layer at the bottom. If desired, you can cut out not one, but two rectangles from each sheet of pita bread.
Grease the mold with oil, place one layer of pita bread on top, coat it with tomato sauce, evenly distribute half of the minced meat on top, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Another option: place the pan with lasagna on the lower level of the oven, on a wire rack, and “cover” it with an inverted baking sheet on top (just slide it into the oven grooves just above the baking pan). After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and move the rack with the pan higher, again to brown the crust.

Lavash lasagna - preparing food and utensils
Armenian lavash is suitable for making lasagna only if it is first allowed to soak in the sauce. Otherwise, it will become brittle and dry in the oven. What can serve as a sauce? Mix cream and sour cream, kefir and egg or fermented baked milk with egg, add spices - the sauce is ready. Most often, fermented milk products are used for the sauce, immersing cut sheets of pita bread in them for 10-12 minutes. During this time, the pita bread will be soaked, but not soggy.
You can use your favorite ingredients, both meat and vegetable, as filling. In addition, you can prepare fruit lasagna with pita bread using cottage cheese and sweet fruits.
How and where to prepare lavash lasagna? I most often use the oven, preheat it before putting the lasagna pan inside. But you can also use a slow cooker. Grease the bowl with oil and set the “Baking” mode for 20-25 minutes.

Lavash lasagna - secrets and useful tips from the best chefs
Send lavash lasagna to bake exclusively in a preheated oven. Be sure to cover the baking pan with foil to prevent the top of the lasagna from burning. If you want the dish to have a crust, then you need to remove the foil three to four minutes before the end of cooking.
What is the best container to use for pita lasagna? A thin-walled deck will not work - the pita bread will become dry. It is best to take ceramic dishes or a heat-resistant glass container. Heat it in the oven and brush with a small piece of butter.
