LASAGNA IN A SKILLET - IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES!



Lasagna in a Skillet - in About 30 Minutes! image

What I love about this recipe, is that it's possible to have lasagna within approx. 30 minutes and only have one pan to wash! It's an easy weeknight recipe to prepare. Comfort food with ease. :) This is an adaption from Cook's Illustrated. *Note: I use preshredded cheeses for quick prep. The 30 minute time is what the original recipe states, and the time it takes me to prepare - however, the time is an approximation and may take a bit longer. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb meatloaf mix (ground beef, ground pork and ground veal)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
6 ounces curly-edged lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces. (8 noodles)
26 ounces marinara sauce (I like Barilla)
2 cups water
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook meat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into pieces with a wooden spoon, for about 5 minutes (until cooked through).
  • Drain meat and return to skillet.
  • Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 t. salt and cook over medium-high heat until fragrant (about 30 seconds -- do not burn garlic).
  • Sprinkle broken lasagna noodles into the skillet, then pour in marinara sauce and water over the top.
  • Cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a vigorous simmer, until noodles are tender (about 20 minutes).
  • Take the skillet off the heat source and stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dot heaping tablespoons of ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Cover and let stand off heat until the cheeses melt (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Sprinkle with basil before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet to ensure that the lasagna cooks evenly and prevents the ingredients from overcrowding.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage.
  • Add a layer of fresh spinach or kale to the skillet for an extra boost of nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. Mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan are all classic choices, but you could also try using fontina, provolone, or Asiago.
  • If you don't have a lasagna noodle maker, you can use pre-cut lasagna noodles or even regular spaghetti noodles.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a jar of marinara sauce instead of making your own.
  • Serve the lasagna with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

This skillet lasagna is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and hearty meal. With its layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a weeknight dinner that's both tasty and satisfying, give this skillet lasagna a try. You won't be disappointed!
