Lasagna Bolognese without turning on the oven? Yes, it’s possible! In this easy skillet version, the pasta cooks directly in a rich beef and tomato sauce, soaking up all the flavor while the mozzarella melts beautifully on top. All you need is one skillet and 35 minutes to make a hearty, comforting dish with tender pasta and stringy cheese. Finish with a little Parmesan and a few basil leaves if you have them, place the skillet in the center of the table, and dinner is ready.

Cook time30 min

Finely chop the onions and sauté them in a hot skillet with olive oil until they are translucent.
Add the ground meat and break it up in the skillet. Then add the tomato paste and stir.
Next, add the crushed tomatoes, water, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir and cover the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil.
When the water comes to a boil, break the lasagna sheets in half lengthwise and place them side by side in the sauce.
Sprinkle grated mozzarella on top.
Cover and cook over low to medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Flatten the pasta slightly with a spatula if necessary while it’s cooking, and add water if needed.
When the dish is done cooking, remove the lid and let it simmer over low heat if the sauce seems a little runny.
And it's ready: let's eat! You can sprinkle some Parmesan and chopped fresh basil on top, serve it, and enjoy!

FAQ ❓

Can the ground beef in the recipe be substituted?

Yes, you can use ground pork, a mix of ground pork and beef, or even a meat substitute like tofu or lentils for a vegetarian or vegan version.

How can I add even more flavor to the skillet lasagna?

You can add herbs like thyme or oregano, or even sautéed vegetables to enrich the dish.

Which skillet should I use?

We recommend using a skillet with a detachable handle (ideally one that is also oven-safe), especially if you plan to save leftovers and reheat the dish later. If you intend to eat it all in one go, a standard skillet will do just fine!

How much water should I add?

You can start by adding ¾ cup + 1 tbsp of water and adjust as needed. If the sauce is still too runny at the end of cooking, remove the lid and keep the skillet on low heat for a few minutes to let the water evaporate.
