Skillet Lasagna Recipe
Skillet Lasagna is the easiest, fastest way to make homemade lasagna! It's cheesy, comforting and is made in one pot in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb. grass fed ground beef
- 1 large shallot chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 1/2 cups homemade marinara sauce or your favorite marinara sauce
- 2 cups water
- 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles each noodle broken into thirds
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese divided
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Freshly chopped basil for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper to taste, and break up the beef into small pieces. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until almost cooked through, then drain all but 1 tablespoon of grease.
- Add the shallot and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until softened.
- Add the pasta sauce, water and noodles to the skillet and press the noodles down into the liquid until completely submerged. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 4-5 minutes until the noodles are tender. Do your best to separate the noodles while stirring as they are prone to stick together.
- Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach until wilted. Add 1/2 cup of the grated mozzarella and the parmesan, and stir until combined. Top the lasagna with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and cover with the lid until melted. Serve garnished with fresh basil, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Pro tip: Prep the shallot and garlic and have your ingredients ready to go as this recipe goes quickly!
- Ground beef may be substituted with ground chicken, turkey or sausage. Make this a vegetarian skillet lasagna by omitting the meat and using 1 lb. of chopped mushrooms.
- Shallot may be substituted with white or yellow onion, just add it to the pan after the ground beef has been cooking for 2 minutes or so as it takes longer to cook.
- A 24 ounce jar of pasta sauce may be substituted for my homemade marinara sauce, or use plain tomato sauce and add fresh or dried herbs during the cooking time for flavor.
- I make this recipe with regular lasagna noodles, but no boil lasagna noodles should work as well. If you’d like to make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the pasta with your favorite gluten-free noodles, but cooking time is subject to vary.
