I’m rethinking traditional lasagnas lately because I love ’em, but boy do they take a lot of work. Not to mention the time required and are pretty high in carbs.
I’ve seen skillet lasagnas pop up in food magazines and blogs now and then. I think they are genius and make for perfect weeknight dinners.
Why am I LOVING skillet lasagnas?
- One pan cooking.
- My kids will eat always eat this because they like their food deconstructed and this dish lends to that.
- Adaptable and flexible. For instance, If you have a family member that doesn’t eat mushrooms then only put them in 1/2 of the pan.
- Go light on the carbs, or leave out the meat. Take our pick from the skillet and everyone is happy.
The Things:
- Cutting board and knife
- Oven safe skillet
The Hack:
- No boil lasagna noodles
