Skillet Lasagna
Lasagna is one of the most comforting dishes imaginable, but it's a time-consuming project. Skillet lasagna takes all the elements of lasagna and combines them in a pan on the stovetop. We promise that once you’re eating it you won’t be able to tell the difference.

Instructions
- 01
Gather the ingredients.
- 02
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high in a large, oven-safe, straight-sided skillet with a lid. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add 1 pound ground beef, and cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
- 03
Add 3 large cloves garlic, minced, 2 teaspoons salt-free Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper , and cook until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute.
- 04
Add one 24-ounce jar marinara sauce, 1 cup water, and 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles, broken. Stir to combine, coating all the noodles, and pushing them down to submerge in the sauce as best as possible. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 05
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the noodles are tender, 20 to 23 minutes, stirring halfway through. If the sauce starts to dry out, add splashes of water as needed. Meanwhile, position a rack about 6 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler to high.
- 06
Add 1 cup ricotta in dollops over the top of the lasagna mixture. Then top with 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded low-moisture mozzarella.
- 07
Transfer the pan to the broiler and broil until the cheese melts and is golden brown and bubbly, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending on the strength of your broiler.
- 08
Top with thinly sliced fresh basil and serve immediately with more grated Parmigiano-Reggiano .
