Skillet Lasagna Recipe
Description
The Skillet Lasagna Recipe combines ground beef browned with salt and sautéed with onions and garlic in olive oil, simmered in crushed tomatoes and chicken bone broth with fresh basil. Short pasta is stirred directly into the sauce to cook until al dente and the sauce thickens.
After cooking, dollops of a cottage cheese, Parmesan, and parsley blend are added on top with shredded mozzarella. The skillet is then transferred to the broiler to melt and brown the cheeses, providing a rich, gooey finish to the dish. This stovetop method reduces the need for traditional layering and baking.
This version delivers the flavors of lasagna with less forkwork and cleanup, ideal for a weeknight meal or casual gathering. Fresh herbs add brightness, and the combination of cheeses offers both tang and creaminess.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese part-skim
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley plus more for garnish, chopped
- 1/2 pound ground beef raw, 93% lean
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 2 ½ cups crushed tomatoes (I like Tuttorosso)
- 2 ½ cups chicken bone broth
- ¼ cup basil chopped, fresh
- 8 ounces pasta (such as Mafalda pasta, Campanelle, bow-tie pasta broken lasagna noodles, Reginetti or or gluten-free pasta)
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese part skim, shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of parsley.
- Heat a large 12 inch oven safe nonstick skillet with a fitted lid over high heat and add the beef and salt. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Add the oil, onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes to the skillet along with the bone broth and basil, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Add the pasta to the pan, stir to combine and spread into an even layer, making sure the noodles are submerged in liquid. Reduce the heat to medium, simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is just tender and the sauce has thickened slightly and all the liquid has been absorbed, about 18 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and dollop the cottage cheese mixture over the lasagna noodles with a small spoon without stirring. Top with the mozzarella. Transfer to the broiler on the second rack from the top and broil on high until the cheese is melted, and slightly browned on top, about 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
