How to Make Skillet Vegetable Lasagna

Here’s how to make this 30-minute lasagna. It’s so easy! 

• Prep. Preheat your oven to 425˚F.
• Cook the noodles. Boil the lasagna noodles for 7 minutes, or until al dente.
• Sauté the onions. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil and butter. Then add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. 
• Add the garlic. Stir in the garlic and sauté for about 20 seconds. 

• Cook the veggies. Add the carrots and zucchini to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook while occasionally stirring until the vegetables are slightly tender. This should take 7 to 8 minutes. 

• Add the noodles. Layer the lasagna noodles on top of the vegetables. 

• Cover with tomatoes. Pour the canned tomatoes on top.
• Add the basil. Put the basil in the skillet and stir to combine.

• Bake. Place the lasagna in the oven for 10 minutes, then serve. 

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few tricks to keep in mind when you make this hearty skillet lasagna. 

• Salt the water. For best results, always salt the water when you cook pasta. Adding salt to the water seasons the lasagna noodles, which adds an extra element of flavor to the dish.
• Get creative with the veggies. I add carrots and zucchini to this recipe, but you can add almost any vegetables that you want. If you have veggies in the fridge that you’re trying to get rid of before they go bad, throw them in. If a certain vegetable is in season where you live, add some of it. This recipe will be just as good if you mix up the veggies in it. 
• Don’t overcook the pasta. When in doubt, it’s best to undercook the lasagna noodles. They’re going to cook more in the oven as they absorb the juice from the tomatoes, so you don’t need to worry about them ending up undercooked. But if you overcook the pasta and then bake it for 10 minutes, it will end up a little bit mushy.
