This Vegetarian Skillet Lasagna is a simplified version of classic lasagna and is one of my family’s favorites. It’s packed with veggies and cooks all in one skillet! A win-win! This Vegetarian Skillet Lasagna is a quick weeknight meal that everyone will love. This easy lasagna is filled with butternut squash and spinach which gives it a healthy boost. Since the vegetables are layered with a delicious marinara sauce, the pasta and lots of cheese, no one complains! It’s one of my favorite recipes to make to get a serving of veggies in for everyone in the family.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pre-roast Your Squash 🎃
    Roast diced butternut squash at 400°F for 15 minutes before adding to the skillet to caramelize edges and intensify sweetness, preventing watery layers in your lasagna.
  • Wilt Spinach Separately 🥬
    Sauté fresh spinach with garlic until completely dry before mixing into ricotta to eliminate excess moisture that can make your lasagna soggy.
  • Layer Strategically for Even Cooking ⚖️
    Arrange no-boil noodles in overlapping rows perpendicular to the pan sides and ensure sauce completely surrounds each noodle layer for proper hydration and tender pasta.
  • Let It Rest Before Serving ⏰
    After cooking, let the skillet lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes covered with foil so the cheese sets and layers hold together when plating for cleaner servings.
  • Cheese Ratio Balance 🧀
    Mix ricotta with egg, Italian herbs, and half the parmesan before spreading to improve binding and create creamier layers, reserving the remaining parmesan and mozzarella for the top.
