Skillet Lasagna
This easy one-pan skillet lasagna comes together on the stovetop in under an hour, with the same bubbly, saucy, cheesy comfort of the classic baked version.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound uncooked Italian sausage
- ½ medium yellow onion , diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 24 ounce jar marinara sauce
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth
- 3 cups mini farfalle noodles
- 1 cup ricotta cheese , at room temperature, or cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Chopped basil or parsley for topping
Instructions
- Cook onion and meat: In a large cast iron skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage, minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked through. Drain grease and return to pan.
- Add liquids and noodles: Add the jar of marinara sauce and 2 1/2 cups chicken broth to the pan and bring to a light boil. Add the mini farfalle noodles and stir. Cover the noodles with liquid as much as possible.
- Cook: Turn down the heat to medium and cook (covered) for 25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. If the noodles absorb too much water, add 1/4 cup water, as needed.
- Add cheeses: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup ricotta cheese with 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Remove pan from heat. Dollop over the lasagna, but do not stir. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese over the top.
- Rest. Cover the pan with a lid and let sit for 5 minutes, until the cheeses are melted. Alternatively, you may place under the broiler for a few minutes, until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Serve. Sprinkle with chopped basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
Leftover lasagna can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Easily reheat in a pan on the stove over low heat. Stir in a splash of broth to loosen it up. You can also microwave it for a couple of minutes, if you prefer.
