Bow Tie Lasagna
Bow tie skillet lasagna has all of the same traditional flavor of lasagna without having to fool with layering lasagna noodles and it's ready half an hour.

- 1 cup ricotta
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese divided
- 1 cup parmesan cheese divided
- 24 oz. jar marinara sauce
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta until al dente or desired tenderness. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, saute ground beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until the meat is cooked through and the onion is translucent. Add in garlic and Italian seasoning and saute 1 minute longer.
- Add the ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella and ½ cup parmesan cheese to the meat mixture and stir to combine.

Notes
Storage:
Store leftover lasagna skillet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze for 2 months Notes: Broiling the cheese will help it to melt without scorching the bottom. Use cottage cheese in place of ricotta if desired. Slice the onion into small pieces so it cooks quickly. Be sure it's done before adding other ingredients so they won't be crunchy. Use homemade marinara or your favorite spaghetti sauce. The oil keeps the pasta from sticking together. You will only need ½ box of pasta noodles. Ground turkey or sausage can be swapped in place of the ground beef. Drain the grease off the meat if it has a higher fat content.
