This deliciously easy Skillet Lasagna recipe is made with ground beef, onion, garlic, beef broth, Italian diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and pasta - all in one pan!
A SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS ONE PAN MEAL
If you are looking for a super simple supper. look no further than this easy skillet lasagna recipe. This is one of my family's favorite weeknight meals. It makes for awesome leftovers too. I always try to buy ground beef when it's on sale and keep a bunch in the freezer. All the other ingredients are pretty much pantry ingredients that you may already have on hand.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY ONE PAN DINNER:
- This can be made with ground sausage or ground turkey.
- I like to use Mafalda pasta because they are shaped like little lasagna noodles. However, if you can't find it, just use rotini or penne pasta (as seen in my video below.)
- For a little extra spice, try adding some red chili flakes.
- Try adding a dollop of ricotta cheese to really bring out that lasagna flavor!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- ground beef
- small onion
- garlic
- beef broth
- Italian diced tomatoes
- Italian seasoning
- Mafalda pasta (or rotini)
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- shredded or grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)
HOW TO MAKE SKILET LASAGNA:
Brown and crumble ground beef (along with diced onions and garlic) over medium heat.
Drain excess grease. Stir in broth, undrained tomatoes and Italian seasoning.
Bring to a boil. Stir in uncooked pasta and simmer for 12-14 minutes until pasta is tender.
The longer you simmer this, the more liquid the pasta will absorb. So if you want a thicker mixture, just let it simmer longer. Stir in mozzarella cheese.
Serve and top with shredded Parmesan or more Mozzarella cheese.
This is delicious served with a side salad and/or garlic bread.
