Skillet Lasagna

Ingredients

For the Skillet

• 1 pound lean ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
• 2 cups low-sodium beef or chicken broth
• 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan
• Fresh basil

Substitutions

• Ground turkey can replace the beef in the skillet sauce. Cook it to 165°F and add a teaspoon of olive oil if the meat is very lean.

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the meat

Cook the beef and onion in a deep 12-inch skillet until the meat reaches 160°F and is evenly browned. Drain excess fat.

Step 3: Cook the noodles

Add marinara, broth, and broken noodles. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 15 to 18 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until noodles are tender.

Step 5: Melt and serve

Cover for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Rest 5 minutes and finish with basil.

How to Store Leftovers

Cool Skillet Lasagna promptly, then refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 3 days. Storing it in individual portions makes reheating easier without repeatedly warming the entire skillet.

How to Reheat

Reheat Skillet Lasagna covered so the center warms before the top dries out. Uncover only near the end if you want to restore some browning or crispness on the surface.

What to Serve With It

• Caesar or green salad
• A light dessert
