35 Minute Skillet Lasagna

Think you don't have time to make a great dinner?

Think again!

In 35 minutes or less you can make this

awesomely delicious one pan Skillet Lasagna!
No kidding.

Let's put 35 minutes on the clock, shall we?

In a LARGE skillet, this one is 14"...

brown and crumble your meat...in this case,

ground turkey and bulk Italian sausage.

At this time also add the garlic, onion, and salt to taste.

While the meat is cooking, assemble your cheese ingredients.

25 minutes: When the meat is done, stir in spaghetti sauce and water.

Add the extra spices now if you are going to.

Dump in your noodles, stir and make sure they're all covered with sauce.

Cook according to noodle box instructions.

Meanwhile...stir together your ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses.

Then mix in the fresh ground pepper, parsley, and salt to taste.

Don't forget to stir the noodles occasionally.

15 minutes: Drop the cheese mixture in small clumps all

over your noodle/sauce/meat concoction.

Sprinkle with extra mozzarella if so desired.

10 minutes: Set heat on lowest setting, or turn off...

cover and let sit 10 minutes until all the cheese has melted.

0 minutes: Remove the lid and dig in!
