30 Minute Skillet Lasagna
30 Minute Skillet Lasagna is a quick and easy meal that tastes delicious and can be made in one skillet.
Who struggles with the age-old question, “What’s for dinner”? I know I do! After a long day of work, the last thing that I want to do is spend an hour in the kitchen preparing a meal.
I’ve been looking for recipes that I can prepare quickly, yet are still delicious, and my latest kitchen experiment, 30 Minute Skillet Lasagna, fits both criteria.
My mom was a teacher and she managed to prepare a home cooked meal every single night. I truly don’t know how she did it. When she made pasta sauce, it was made using her home-canned tomatoes and onion and green peppers from her garden.
On a weekend, I may make pasta the way my mom did, but on a busy weeknight, instead of making my sauce from scratch, I rely on help from the grocery store. My skillet lasagna uses bottled spaghetti sauce, not as good as homemade, but good enough.
My 30 minute Skillet Lasagna starts with a base of ground beef, onion, and garlic. After the ground beef mixture has cooked, pasta sauce, egg noodles, and water are added to the pan. After 10 minutes, the pasta has cooked and is topped with Ricotta and cheese. The pan is covered, and after 5 minutes, the cheese is melted and this dish is ready to be enjoyed.
This easy to make meal is ready in just 30 minutes!

We love this recipe and it’s a regular at my house.
How cool! I’ve never even thought about making lasagna in a skillet. I love any meal that is quick and easy after work!
You can make this vegetarian by leaving out the meat. I’ve made it before that way.
What a great idea. I never would have thought of lasagna in a skillet. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Meegan! It’s good, easy, and I love that I can have dinner ready in 30 minutes.
This looks great Paula! I’m always looking for new recipes and this is one I’m definitely going to try. We love lasagna.
Thanks, Angie! I liked the recipe “as is” but my hubby spiced up his portion with Texas Peat. We are having the leftovers tonight for dinner. I love a quick and easy recipe. And it’s nice that only one pan gets dirty while you are cooking.
Yum! This looks delicious, Paula! I’ve pinned this recipe–I want to try it. I love lasagna but don’t often take the time to make it; I’d love a shortcut!
It’s not as good as real lasagna but good for a 30 minute meal!
This is awesome. I love making this meal in a pan.
It’s great to only get one pan dirty, Vanessa!
I never thought to make lasagna in a skillet! Yum!!
It is so easy and good. If you boys are into fall sports, it may be a dish to make on one of those busy nights.
This looks amazing! Great for a busy tennis night!
Definitely, Christy. I had tennis last night and made it before my match. It was so nice to have dinner ready to eat when I came home.
Looks delicious! I’m going to try it without the meat.
I’ve actually made it without the meat and it is just as good!
Love your recipe! Looking forward to trying it on a cool night when hot pasta will be so good!
Thanks, Wendi! I might be a while before you get a cool night in Florida! 🙂
Looks fantastic! A great week night meal! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner link up and don’t forget to leave a comment at the party – Next week’s features that also leave a comment get pinned and tweeted!
Look yummy and fast! I am always needing another quick meal and can’t wait to try. I am going to pin this so I find it later LOL.
I’ve made this three times since I posted the recipe, Haley. It’s good and easy. I’ve been adding more salt as the pasta cooks to help to flavor it and I like the boost in flavor.
This looks delicious, and perfect for someone without a working oven! We’ll have to make it sometime, soon.
No oven? That must be tough, Wendy! Skillet Lasagna is just what you need to make!
Thanks for sharing this at Craft Frenzy Friday! I might make this tonight!
I love anything cooked in a skillet! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
I LOVE lasagna, but never cook it because it’s so time consuming. I can’t wait to give this a try!
I also love lasagna and don’t take the time to make it often but this recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy it.
