Skillet Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
• 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp dried basil leaves
• 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups water
• 8 oz uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef:
   • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
   • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Prepare the Sauce:
   • Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, tomato paste, sugar, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
   • Add 2 cups of water and stir to combine.
3. Add the Noodles:
   • Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the skillet. Stir to ensure they are submerged in the sauce.
4. Simmer:
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
5. Add the Cheeses:
   • Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the lasagna mixture. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
6. Melt the Cheese:
   • Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
