Skillet Lasagna

Derek LOVES lasagna. In fact, it is his favorite food. And after 2 1/2 years of marriage I still haven’t made it for him.  I guess my excuses have been it takes too much time and cost too much money.  This past weekend my friend moved away and gave us a lot of cheese so the first thing I thought of making was lasagna.

I remembered a recipe I have from a ward cookbook for skillet lasagna. I knew it was easy and I had heard it was amazing so I made it.  And let me tell you!  It was so good!  I like lasagna but it isn’t my favorite but this skillet lasagna is really good!  And Derek loved it too! And he knows a good lasagna when he tastes one.

The best part is how quick and easy it is to make.  This is now one of our favorite recipes!

Skillet Lasagna
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 24 oz. can pasta sauce (I just used a jar of pasta sauce)
8 no-cook lasagna noodles, broken into 2 inch pieces
1 cup low-fat ricotta
1 1/4 cup shredded cheese-Italian blend

Directions
In large skillet over medium heat, brown meat and drain.  Add pasta sauce and 1 1/2 cups of water, bring to a boil.  Add noodles and stir.  Reduce heat and cook for 10-12 minutes.  In a bowl combine ricotta and 1 cup Italian cheese.  Drop cheese in mounds around noodles.  Sprinkle with remaining Italian cheese.  Cover, turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
