Description
Make classic lasagna flavor in under 30 minutes using just one skillet. This recipe uses no-boil noodles for fast assembly and minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 no-boil lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes (with liquid), water, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the broken no-boil lasagna noodles until they are mostly submerged in the sauce.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender.
- While the noodles cook, mix the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, and parsley in a small bowl until combined.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Drop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture evenly over the top of the lasagna mixture.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and extra Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover the skillet again and let it stand for 5 minutes off the heat to allow the cheese to melt and the dish to set slightly. Serve directly from the skillet.
Notes
- If your skillet is not oven-safe, you can finish the dish by placing it under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute ground turkey or Italian sausage for the ground beef.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and zucchini.
