Skillet Lasagna
This skillet lasagna takes the hard work of layering the noodles, filling and cheese out of the picture and turns lasagna into a super-easy weeknight meal.

-
1 pound 94%-lean ground beef

1 teaspoon salt-free Italian seasoning

-
½ teaspoon onion powder

Description
-
Preheat oven to broil with a rack about 8 inches from the heat source.
-
Heat oil in a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring to break it up into small pieces, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add water, marinara and noodles; bring to a simmer. Cook, covered and stirring often to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, basil and parsley.
-
Top with mozzarella (or provolone) and broil until the cheese is bubbly and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Dollop with ricotta. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
