Make classic lasagna flavor fast with this simple skillet method. You get all the cheesy, meaty layers without the long oven time. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground meat in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  3. Add the broken lasagna noodles and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
  4. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the top of the lasagna.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  8. Cover the skillet again and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or a plant-based ground for the beef.
  • If your noodles seem dry before they are tender, add a splash more water.
  • This dish tastes great with a side salad.
