Bow Tie Skillet Lasagna Recipe

HOW TO MAKE SKILLET LASAGNA 

(To skip my tips and just see the full recipe card, scroll to the bottom of the post.)

Ingredients needed:

• lean ground beef
• ground pork sausage (You can just use all ground beef, but the sausage adds great flavor.)
•  onion (I use regular yellow onions, but you can use a sweet white onion if you prefer.)
• garlic (I use fresh minced garlic, but you can use dry minced garlic if you prefer.)
• canned diced tomatoes (My family prefers petite diced tomatoes, so I stock up when I can find them.)
• tomato sauce
• water
• dried parsley 
• dried basil
• dried oregano
• salt
• bowtie pasta (Or another pasta of your choosing; I have also made it with broken up lasagna noodles with great results.)
• cottage cheese (I used low fat cottage cheese, but any variety will work.)
• parmesan cheese (I used fresh grated parmesan cheese, but the kind in the can will work in a pinch.)
• mozzarella cheese

VARIATIONS:

• You can just use a pound of ground beef in place of the sausage if you like.
• If you don’t have bow tie pasta, you could use another kind. It may take more or less time to cook, so just check it for doneness.
• Ricotta cheese can be used in place of the cottage cheese.
• If you like things spicy, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes with the other seasonings. 
• In place of the pork sausage, you can use spicy Italian sausage.
