Vegetable Skillet Lasagna

Active time: 40 Min.

Total time: 40 Min.

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup finely chopped onion

4 cups chopped assorted vegetables, like bell pepper, eggplant, summer squash, and mushrooms

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Kosher salt and black pepper

24 ounce jar of your favorite marinara sauce

1 cup vegetable broth

6 ounces lasagna noodles (not no-boil noodles), broken into 2-inch pieces

¾ cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Chopped fresh parsley or basil

Instructions:

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large (12-inch) cast iron or enameled skillet (with lid). Add onion and chopped vegetables and saute for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and oregano and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Season vegetables to taste with salt and pepper.

Stir in marinara sauce and broth and bring to simmer. Add the noodles to the pan, using the back of a wooden spoon to submerge them in the sauce. Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Remove lid and fold in ricotta and half of the mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with parmesan. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until heated through. Remove lid and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or basil before serving.
