Easy One Skillet Lasagna
Report
A delicious lasagna that is made in a cast-iron skillet. This comfort food classic is perfect for weeknights and pleases the whole family! It is a quicker and simpler way to enjoy the flavors of traditional lasagna without all the layering and baking time. Making lasagna in a skillet can take less than 30 minutes, and the results are delicious.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups mozzarella grated, divided
- 8 pieces lasagna noodles each broken into 4 or 5 (you can use no-boil, but cook it for slightly less time)
Instructions
Make the Sauce
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute 5-6 mins til onion is soft, add the garlic and cook a further minute.
- Add the ground beef and cook 4-5 mins until no longer pink.
- Add the pasta sauce and Italian Seasoning and simmer, stirring occasionally around 5-6 mins.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
- Transfer 2/3 of the meat sauce to a bowl, leaving 1/3 the sauce in the skillet
- Lay half the noodles over the sauce in the skillet, spoon half the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles, sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella, then repeat with sauce, noodles, cottage cheese,1/2 cup mozzarella and last 1/3 of the sauce.
Bake
- Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the noodles are tender, 25 to 30 mins.
- Remove from the oven, and let it rest a few minutes - broiling the top if desired.
To serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley or fresh basil.
- Devour.

Notes
- It's easy to change this up and make a different flavored lasagna for each night of the week! Use what you have, it will be MARVELOUS, I promise!
- Sub the cottage cheese for ricotta.
- Use no-boil lasagna noodles instead of regular - cook for less time!
- Use different flavored tomato sauce. I like a four-cheese pasta sauce, but your favorite sauce will make this lasagna your own! If you don't have pasta sauce, some diced tomatoes, extra garlic, and some seasoning will work just as well. Just be sure to match the volume of liquid (since the noodles will literally cook in the sauce)
- If I have Italian sausage, I might use half ground beef, half sausage.
- If you like a little heat, some red pepper flakes are a lovely addition (add them with the Italian Seasoning)
