A quick and simple no-boil skillet lasagna recipe that delivers rich, cheesy, and comforting flavors perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage, browned and seasoned
  • 8–10 sheets no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Pour in marinara sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Tear or break no-boil noodles into skillet-sized pieces and arrange a layer on top of the sauce.
  6. Spoon dollops of ricotta cheese evenly over the noodles, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and some Parmesan cheese.
  7. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan.
  8. Cover skillet with a tight-fitting lid and cook on low heat for 25-30 minutes until noodles are tender and cheese is melted.
  9. Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh chopped basil or parsley if desired.

Notes

If skillet is not oven-safe, transfer layered lasagna to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, uncovering last 10 minutes to brown cheese. Covering the skillet traps steam and ensures tender noodles. Letting the lasagna rest before serving helps it set and makes slicing easier. Use good quality marinara sauce for best flavor. Variations include vegetarian, gluten-free, and spicy versions.
