Melt in your Mouth Skillet Lasagna

Today we have another one pot meal for you, cast iron skillet lasagna. Just like the Thai basil chicken this recipe is truly a one pot meal. No need to transfer anything out of the skillet, once it is in the skillet it stays in the skillets. At least until you are ready to gobble it up, and you are going to want to devour this lasagna.

Flavor is always the most important thing when I am cooking. This lasagna recipe will not let you down in that department. I used crushed tomatoes for the sauce, and it makes a huge difference. To me meat sauce made with crushed tomatoes is the next best thing to homemade sauce from fresh tomatoes. Once you taste this sauce and see how easy it is to make you will never buy a jar of spaghetti sauce again.

Everything in this lasagna was made in a large cast iron skillet. I made the sauce first, then layered the noodles. I pushed the noodles under the sauce using a spoon, trying to get as much sauce on top as possible. The noodles will break a little as you push them under the sauce. A little breakage is ok. The lasagna holds its form well.

You could easily make it in any size oven safe skillet, just cut the ingredients in half accordingly. I’ve also made this lasagna on the stove. It was a little more difficult, and I had to keep an eye on it constantly. Since I am a fan of passive time when cooking, I started cooking it in the oven. It turned out better, and I could do other things while waiting for dinner to be done.

Since I just have to pop the lasagna in the oven, it really only took about 10 minutes of active time. This is fantastic because you now have time to help with homework, clean up, or just relax.

Another thing I love about this lasagna is the big dollops of ricotta cheese on top. The ricotta cheese makes a beautiful contrast in the red sauce. Plus, there is no need to use a ton of mozzarella and parmesan cheese to cover the top. I love cheese, but I am also a fan of making food healthier. So in this case, less is more. However, the sauce has such great flavor that you won’t even notice the missing cheese.
