What Goes into a Skillet Lasagna?

The key to making a meal in 30 minutes is to have things ready and organized for you already, which is called mise en place. Purchase garlic in a jar that is already minced, cheese that is grated and packaged and jarred tomato sauce (I like a marinara sauce). All of these items are time-savers to get your meal on the table quickly and deliciously.

Also, boiling or cooking the lasagna noodles right in the skillet saves time cooking, assembling and cleaning. You can use no-boil noodles for this recipe, too but just cook the noodles for less time. With no assembly required or cooking of the noodles separately, you will be wanting to make this lasagna more and more.

How to Make Skillet Lasagna

The recipe for Easy Skillet Lasagna is made up in no time flat. A real family pleaser that everyone will love. You will love it for how fast and easy it is to make and with only one pan to wash.

In a large skillet with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the onions and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, so they do not burn.

Add the ground beef and cook, stirring until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

Next, add the oregano, salt and pepper to the ground beef onion mixture.

Add the lasagna noodles, the jarred sauce and the water and stir to combine.

Cover and cook, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and allow to simmer over low heat for 15-18 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally so the noodles won’t stick together.

Then add the ricotta cheese in dollops around the pan and sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan over the top.

Cover and allow the cheese to melt.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
