Skillet Lasagna Recipe

1 tbsp olive oil

1 lb grass fed ground beef

1 shallotchopped

3 cloves garlicminced

2 ½ cups homemade marinara sauce or your favorite marinara sauce

2 cups water

8 ounces lasagna noodlesuncooked, broken into thirds

2 cups baby spinach

1 cup mozzarella cheesegrated, divided

½ cup parmesan cheesegrated

basilFreshly chopped

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt and pepper to taste, and break up the beef into small pieces. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until almost cooked through, then drain all but 1 tablespoon of grease.

Add the shallot and garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until softened.

Add the pasta sauce, water and noodles to the skillet and press the noodles down into the liquid until completely submerged. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 4-5 minutes until the noodles are tender. Do your best to separate the noodles while stirring as they are prone to stick together.

Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach until wilted. Add 1/2 cup of the grated mozzarella and the parmesan, and stir until combined. Top the lasagna with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and cover with the lid until melted. Serve garnished with fresh basil, if desired, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Break Noodles for Perfect Layering 🍝
Break lasagna noodles into smaller pieces before adding to the skillet—this eliminates the need for layering and ensures even cooking while maximizing surface area for sauce absorption.
Bloom Your Garlic and Shallots 🧄
Toast minced garlic and shallots in olive oil for 30-45 seconds before adding the ground beef to unlock their aromatic compounds and create a richer, deeper flavor foundation.
Reserve Pasta Water for Sauce Adjustment 💧
Save the starchy water from cooking noodles separately and use it to adjust your sauce consistency in the skillet—it helps bind ingredients better than plain water and adds subtle pasta flavor.
Stir in Cheese Off Heat 🧀
Remove the skillet from heat before stirring in mozzarella and parmesan to prevent the cheeses from becoming grainy or separating while ensuring a silky, cohesive sauce.
Add Spinach in Two Stages 🌿
Wilt half the spinach into the sauce mid-cook and reserve the rest to stir in at the end—this provides layered texture, prevents overcooking, and preserves vibrant color.
