Description
A comforting and cheesy lasagna cooked in a skillet for a quick and easy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent. Add ground beef or sausage; cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add Seasoning: Stir in oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix in marinara sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the Noodles: Nestle the broken lasagna noodles into the sauce, ensuring they are submerged. Cover the skillet and let it simmer until noodles are tender (about 15-20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Add the Cheese: Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese onto the noodles. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover and let cook until the cheeses are melted and bubbly (about 5 minutes).
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the meat mixture while browning.
- You can substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Consider adding a handful of fresh spinach or mushrooms for additional veggies.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes while cooking the meat.
- Make sure not to overcook the noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.
