Easy Skillet Lasagna Recipe
We love lasagna in my house but I don’t always love all the steps it takes to make it. But this easy skillet lasagna recipe requires no boiling, no baking and is ready in no time!
Before you get started, I want to share a few secrets to making a really good lasagna…
- Polly-O is the best ricotta cheese hands down. Try to get it on sale though because it’s kinda pricey, which why I don’t always use it. But when I do, I can definitely taste the difference.
- Try the Kraft Mozzarella Cheese with a hint of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Again, you will taste the difference.
- Victoria’s White Linen Marinara Sauce. Wow! This is the best tasting jarred sauce I have ever had! The closest to homemade you will ever find in a jar. It can be hard to find in average supermarkets, but Costco does carry it. Shout out to my awesome mother-in-law for buying some for me:)
- And just a note about seasonings—my no fail combo is Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, Lawry’s Seasoned Pepper and Adobo. I use these 3 as a base on just about everything I cook.
