Skillet Spinach Lasagna
This is the perfect easy dinner when you're craving lasagna, but without all the work!
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 (24 ounce) can or jar traditional pasta sauce
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces no-boil lasagna noodles broken into about 3 inch pieces (about 7 noodles)
- 3 cups fresh spinach tightly packed
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook sausage and onion (crumbling sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks) until sausage is cooked and no longer pink (about 6 to 7 minutes). Drain off fat.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant (while stirring), about 30 seconds.
- Stir in pasta sauce, tomato sauce, water, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Add lasagna noodle pieces. Stir to combine and coat noodles with sauce mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low (or as needed to maintain a simmer), cover and simmer until lasagna noodles are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach until slightly wilted, then stir in the mozzarella cheese.
- Remove from heat and dollop with the ricotta cheese. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Notes
- Lean ground beef can be substituted for Italian sausage (or a combination of both).
