Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Skillet Lasagna.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, stirring often, until it turns a rich brown and crumbles nicely, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Be sure to drain any excess grease to keep your dish light.
Step 4
Next, introduce the spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.
Step 5
Lower the heat and allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 15 minutes, letting those flavors meld beautifully.
Step 6
While the sauce is bubbling away, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 7
Toss in the mafalda noodles and cook them until they reach that perfect al dente texture, roughly 8 minutes.
Step 8
Once cooked, drain the noodles and add them to the skillet, stirring until they are thoroughly coated in the savory sauce.
Step 9
For the finishing touch, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the lasagna mixture.
Step 10
Now, position your oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
Step 11
Slide the skillet under the broiler and watch as the cheese transforms into a golden, bubbly masterpiece in just 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of a delicious meal ahead!.
