Skillet Lasagna
Description
This Skillet Lasagna starts by browning ground beef with diced onions and minced garlic, building a savory base. After draining excess fat, marinara sauce, beef broth, and farfalle noodles are added to the skillet and simmered uncovered until the pasta is tender but retains slight firmness. This one-pan technique simplifies the traditional layering of lasagna ingredients into a stovetop casserole.
Mozzarella cheese is stirred in partway, and ricotta cheese is dotted on top before additional mozzarella covers the surface. Covered briefly, the cheese melts to create a creamy, flavorful topping that integrates well with the saucy beef and tender noodles.
The dish serves as a satisfying main course with balanced flavors from the rich beef, tangy marinara, and smooth cheese. It can be made ahead to the meat and sauce step, frozen for up to three months, and then reheated to finish cooking noodles and melting cheese. Leftovers store well refrigerated for several days.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 6 ounces farfalle noodles about 2 cups
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese
Instructions
- Place beef, onions, and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until meat is browned. Drain off the fat and add the marinara sauce, beef broth, and noodles.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until noodles are al dente.
- Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese and then dot the top with ricotta. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, cover, and let it sit for 2-4 minutes until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Prepare ahead by cooking meat mixture, then freeze for up to 2-3 months before adding noodles and cheese to finish cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
