Easy Skillet Lasagna - quick pasta dish that has all the flavors of lasagna and only takes a few minutes to prepare. Pasta, sausage, ground beef, garlic, basil, spaghetti sauce, mozzarella, and ricotta cheese. Ready to eat in about 20 minutes. My family LOVES this pasta!

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain. Set aside.
In a large skillet, brown sausage and ground beef. Drain fat and return meat to skillet.
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spaghetti sauce, basil, mozzarella cheese, and ricotta to the meat. Stir to combine. Add noodles and stir to coat thoroughly. Simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Top with additional cheese if desired.
Notes:
I used Jimmy Dean sausage in this pasta.
Feel free to use all sausage, all ground beef, ground turkey or turkey sausage.
I like to use Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Marinara in this casserole. It is the one with the green label. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s close by, I also love Rao’s and La Famiglia Delgrossobrand jarred sauces. I find both of those at Walmart, Target, and Publix.
I used ricotta cheese in this skillet lasagna. If you don't like ricotta, you can use cottage cheese. If you don't like ricotta or cottage cheese, try some sour cream or Greek yogurt.
