I’m obsessed with one pan meals like this Skillet Lasagna for their easy preparation and clean up. They make the perfect weeknight meal as this recipe is  family friendly and ready to eat in about 30 minutes!

How to Make Skillet Lasagna:

1. Brown beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Brown meat and remove some of the grease.

2. Make sauce: Stir in garlic, minced onion, pasta sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring sauce to a simmer.

3. Add pasta: stir in pasta and water, bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes. Remove from heat.

4. Add cheese: Stir in parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Spoon a few scoops of ricotta on the top, and cover for a few minutes to allow the cheese to warm.

Recipes Variations:

The meat: substitute ground turkey or use half ground Italian sausage for added flavor.

The cheese: substitute cottage cheese for ricotta if necessary and substitute shredded cheddar or provolone for mozzarella, if needed.

Add veggies: add chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach or other chopped veggies in step 2, and sauté.

Make ahead instructions: To prep ahead of time, make the recipe through step 2, before adding the pasta.  Store it in the refrigerator and add pasta and water (step 3) when ready to cook.
