As we have previously discussed, we eat lotsa pasta up in this house. One of my go-to weeknight meals is this skillet lasagna.
I almost always have all of these ingredients on hand and I will whip this up when I am lacking creativity or I do not have a ton of time to prep for dinner.
Skillet lasagna is lovely, family-friendly, and a skillet-full of goodness.
Skillet Lasagna
Most skillet lasagna recipes have ricotta instead of sour cream, but I find the substitution of sour cream results in a milder tasting dish.
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef with 2 cloves of minced garlic. Drain off any excess fat.
2. Pour in 1-24 ounce jar of marinara sauce, add 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup sour cream.
4. Stir until it is all combined.
5. Throw in 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup shredded parmesan.
6. Then add 12 ounces of cooked pasta.
7. Finally, stir to combine.
8. Serve with shredded mozzarella and some dried parsley.
