Can I Use Another Type of Pasta?

Of course! Any short, sturdy pasta will work. Penne, macaroni, and fusilli would all work too.

Can I Make This Vegetarian?

Easily! Instead of using ground beef, add some finely chopped veggies to the skillet and sauté them before adding in the remaining ingredients.

Tips for Making Skillet Lasagna

Be sure to salt the water the pasta cooks in. You want the pasta itself to have some flavor too!
I used ground beef for that classic lasagna flavor, but ground pork, sausage, turkey, or chicken may all be substituted.
Cook the pasta just until al dente, otherwise it’ll fall apart in the hearty sauce.
