Skillet Lasagna Recipe
Description
The Skillet Lasagna Recipe brings together Italian sausage and two tomato components to create a rich, hearty sauce. Browning the sausage first and draining excess fat ensures a balanced flavor and texture. Breaking the lasagna noodles into thirds allows them to cook evenly amidst the sauce. After simmering the noodles until tender, dollops of ricotta cheese along with shredded mozzarella cheese are added and melted, creating a creamy, bubbly cheese topping. Fresh basil adds a subtle herbal note when sprinkled on top. This method simplifies lasagna preparation by eliminating layering and baking steps.
The dish can be served directly from the skillet, making it practical for casual family meals or weeknight dinners. The melted cheese topping provides a comforting texture contrast to the saucy noodles and savory sausage.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage mild
- 1 marinara sauce 24 oz jar
- 1 diced tomatoes 14 oz can, with Italian seasonings
- 6-7 lasagna noodles broken into thirds
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- basil optional, fresh, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking apart with with a wooden spoon. Drain any accumulated fat, and add marinara and tomatoes to the pan. Heat until bubbly.
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the pan and stir into the sauce making sure noodles are coated. Reduce heat to medium low, cover the skillet, and allow to cook for 15 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
- Drop ricotta cheese in small spoonfuls over the top of the lasagna. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then recover and allow to cook for 3-4 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil if desired, and serve.
