Description
Make a complete lasagna dinner in a single skillet with less cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 9 lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, pushing them down into the liquid. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the noodles cook, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and egg in a small bowl.
- Once the noodles are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Drop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the top of the lasagna.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again and let it stand for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately, topping with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for the beef.
- For a richer flavor, use Italian sausage instead of plain ground beef.
- If the sauce seems too thick before the noodles are done, add a splash more water.
