Best One-Skillet Lasagna image

I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner...on my way to work going 50mph I saw some trash blowing across the road...it got stuck to my car and I could hear it fluttering all the way to work. When I got out of my car I found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill. I took it off and what was it? A torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow. I feel obligated to post them now. This one sites: Cook's Illustrated.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt, to taste
6 ounces curly-edged regular lasagna noodles, 8 noodles broken into 2-inch pieces (do not use no-boil noodles)
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce (about 3 cups)
2 cups water
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced

Steps:

  • Cook meat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat, breaking it into pieces with a wooden spoon until fat renders, 3-5 minutes. Drain.
  • In the skillet stir into the meat, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp salt and cook over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle broken noodles into skillet, then pour in tomato sauce and water so that it covers the noodles (you may need to add extra water if noodles are especially dry).
  • Cover and cook, stirring often at a vigorous simmer until noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Dot heaping tablespoons of ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle the remaining cheeses.
  • Cover and let stand off heat until cheeses melts, 3-5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with basil before serving.
