This Skillet Lasagna is an easier and faster way to make lasagna than the traditional way all in one skillet. Do not substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the traditional, curly-edged lasagna noodles here. Use either whole milk or part-skim ricotta here, but do not use fat-free ricotta, which has a very dry texture and bland flavor.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 35 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound ground Italian sausage

½ yellow onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 - 14 ounce cans tomato sauce

1 -14 ounce can diced tomato

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

8 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese (about 1 cup)

14 curly-edged lasagna noodles, broken

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

8 ounces fresh mozzarella

fresh basil

Directions

1Add the ground sausage to a large skillet and cook over medium heat while stirring. Once the sausage is mostly cooked add the diced onion to cook.

2When the onion is translucent and soft and sausage is cooked through add the minced garlic. Cook for an additional 30 seconds.

3Add the tomato sauce and diced tomato to the skillet. Stir to combine.

4Add seasonings and stir. Break the lasagna noodles over the skillet and add to the sauce. Press the noodles down as much as possible into the sauce. Cover the pan and allow to simmer over medium heat for about 15 - 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

5Once the noodles are softened add the ricotta and a cup of mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.

6Serve and top with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.
