Weekday Skillet Lasagna
Adapted
from Cooking Classy
2
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1
1/2 lb ground beef
1
yellow onion, chopped
3
cloves garlic, pressed
1
28oz can diced tomatoes
1
15 oz can tomato sauce
2/3
cup water
4
tablespoon fresh parsley, divided
2
teaspoons dried basil
1/2
teaspoon dried oregano
1
tsp granulated sugar
Salt
and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12
dry lasagna noodles, each noodle broken crosswise into 2-inch pieces
1
1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1/2
cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
1
cup ricotta cheese
10
basil leaves, chopped
Heat
1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large and deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook
beef until browned, stirring occasionally and breaking up beef. Drain fat from
beef and pour beef onto a plate, set aside.
Heat
remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in skillet, add onion and sauté until
tender, about 3 minutes, adding in garlic during last 30 seconds.
Pour
in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and water. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh
parsley, the dried basil, oregano, sugar and season with salt and pepper to
taste.
Bring
just to a gentle boil then add lasagna pieces and cooked beef, stir and
submerge noodles in liquid,
then reduce heat to a simmer, cover skillet with
lid and allow to cook until noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been
absorbed, about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.
Once
noodles are tender, shape half of the cheese mixture into about 1 1/2 tablespoon
portions and add to lasagna, and gently stir to submerge under pasta.
Crumble
remaining half of the cheese mixture into small pieces over top, cover with lid
and cook over low heat, about 5 minutes longer until cheese has melted. Garnish
top with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and chopped fresh basil.
So I told my friend about this video, HBear, Ninja and my Dad had NO IDEA what I was talking about when I mentioned What Does the Fox Say.
