There is nothing quite like a bubbling pan of lasagna after a long day. This skillet version is perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something hearty and homemade without the hassle of layering and baking for an hour.

I love this recipe because it keeps the kitchen clean and puts a smile on everyone's face. It is a true crowd pleaser that feels special enough for a family dinner but simple enough for a Monday night.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
Salt and pepper to taste

8Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2
Add the onion and cook until soft, then stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
3
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and oregano, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
4
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the pan, pushing them down so they are submerged in the sauce.
5
Cover the skillet and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
6
Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce.
7
Drop spoonfuls of ricotta over the top of the noodles and sprinkle with the mozzarella and parmesan.
8
Cover the skillet again for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly before serving.

Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, add a tiny splash of water to the pan to keep the sauce from drying out. This pairs beautifully with a simple green salad on the side.
