I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner...on my way to work going 50mph I saw some trash blowing across the road...it got stuck to my car and I could hear it fluttering all the way to work. When I got out of my car I found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill. I took it off and what was it? A torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow. I feel obligated to post them now. This one sites: Cook's Illustrated.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt, to taste
6 ounces curly-edged regular lasagna noodles, 8 noodles broken into 2-inch pieces (do not use no-boil noodles)
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce (about 3 cups)

Tips:

  • To save time and effort, use no-boil lasagna noodles. They cook in the sauce as the lasagna bakes.
  • Customize the filling to your liking. Add extra vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms. Or, swap the ground beef for sausage, chicken, or tofu.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If your skillet is too small, the lasagna will not cook evenly.
  • To prevent the lasagna from sticking to the skillet, make sure to grease it well before adding the ingredients.
  • Serve the lasagna immediately out of the oven. It will be at its best when it is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Skillet lasagna is a quick and easy way to enjoy a classic Italian dish. It is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. So, next time you are craving lasagna, give this skillet version a try.
