One-Pan Lasagna

Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for a one-pan lasagna that’s easy to make and requires minimal cleanup:

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (24 oz) jar of marinara sauce
2 cups water
9 lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large oven-safe skillet or deep sauté pan, brown the ground beef or Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Once the meat is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.

Pour the marinara sauce and water into the skillet with the meat mixture. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and arrange them evenly in the skillet, pressing them down into the sauce mixture.

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and let the lasagna simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through and tender.

Once the noodles are cooked, dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the top of the lasagna mixture in the skillet.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the ricotta cheese layer.

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for about 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish the lasagna with fresh basil or parsley, if desired, before serving.

Serve the one-pan lasagna directly from the skillet and enjoy!
