I've been intrigued by the idea of skillet lasagna so I gave it a try. It was fun and stress-free! My kids are not lasagna fans but they both ate this. I think it was because it was more "free form" and easy to skip over the ricotta! I was very short on hamb. and used 1 jumbo frozen patty and added some diced zucchini in with the onion (great way to hide it!). I cooked mine a bit longer because my noodles were really al dente. I also added about 3/4 cup mozz. I will definitely make this again- so much easier than lasagna and only one dirty skillet! Thanks Tara- Roxygirl

This was the easiest lasagna I've ever made--and just as tasty as the baked versions. My husband and I both loved it!! I didn't think it would fit into our skillet though, so I used a big soup pot, and that worked out fine. I also used ground turkey in place of the ground beef, low-sodium diced tomatoes in place of the regular kind, and 1 tablespoon of dried basil instead of the fresh (it's what I had), and still ended up with some great lasagna. I will certainly be making this recipe again! Thanks tara9871!!!
