Stovetop Skillet Lasagna is a quick and easy way to enjoy all the flavors of traditional lasagna without the fuss of baking. It’s perfect for busy nights when you want something hearty and comforting. This recipe combines classic ingredients for a satisfying meal on the stovetop.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink. Drain off excess grease. Add the spaghetti sauce to the meat mixture and stir.
Remove all but about 1 cup of the sauce mixture from the skillet and spread evenly on the bottom. Set the removed sauce to the side for assembly. To make the cheese mixture, combine the ricotta, 6 ounces each of the Parmesan and mozzarella, egg, and dried seasonings. Mix well and set aside.
Start assembling the lasagna by laying noodles on top of the sauce in an even layer in the skillet. Break noodles to fit as best as possible. Spread half of the cheese mixture carefully on top of the raw noodles. Lay another layer of noodles on top of the cheese mixture, going in the opposite direction of the previous ones.
Pour half of the remaining meat mixture on the raw noodles. Lay the final layer of noodles on top in the original direction. Carefully spread the remaining cheese mixture on top, followed by the remaining meat mixture. Top with remaining shredded cheese. Cover with foil completely and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
