Last night my hubby made a request for dinner. This is something we have not had in a long time so I was excited to make it. What is even more exciting is that it takes less than 30 minutes to make!! This recipe is from Pampered Chef's 29 minutes to dinner recipe book.
Skillet Lasagna
1 lb of ground beef (the recipe calls for italian sausage but I usually use what I have;I also use less than a lb so it doesn't make as much)
8 oz. of lasagna noodles (I buy a big box so I guess how much I want to put in)
2-3 cloves of garlic (using fresh really makes a difference)
1 jar (24 oz.) of marinara sauce (use whatever is on sale in the spaghetti aisle)
3 cups water
2 oz. Parm cheese
1/2 cup Moz. cheese
8 oz. Ricotta cheese
Parsley (fresh or dried or none at all)
In a skillet put your sauce and your water in cover and bring to a boil. While this is beginning to heat up take your lasagna noodles and begin to break them up. You can put them in between a clean dish towel to brake them into "strips". Once the sauce boils put your noodles in and cover and let them simmer for 16-18 minutes until they are done.
While that is going on you need to cook your meat. I use the micro cooker from Pampered Chef and just stick it in the microwave and chop it up w/ my mix and chop so I don't have to use another pan. Press your garlic cloves in there when the meat is no longer pink. Drain all the fat off and set aside.
Grate your Parm and Moz. cheeses and mix w/ the ricotta cheese and parsley in a bowl.
Once your noodles are done, put your meat in the skillet, stir around and take the cheese mixture and scoop on top of the lasagna. Remove it from heat and keep the lid on and let the cheeses melt.
That's all there is to it!!! Try it tonight, you'll love it!!
