Skillet Lasagna

December 29, 2016 by Carine Clary Leave a Comment

Skillet LasagnaDuring the holiday season, everyone concentrates on all the special dishes that they’re preparing while forgetting that they still need to eat normal food every day. Skillet Lasagna exists to fill that gap. It’s a delicious, one-pot, simple & fast main course that will fill stomachs during the go-go days before Christmas & New Year’s and it tastes just like regular lasagna which I’m too lazy to make much anymore.

And the best part? You don’t need to precook the noodles. You may also cook it in a deep stew pot or a shallow braising pan like the one pictured above. Just make sure the noodles are submerged before you cover the pot and all will be well.

So if you are craving a hot homemade meal in thirty-five minutes this is it.

The Prep

After doing a quick brown of the ground meat add in the onion & garlic, stir for a couple then pour on the diced tomatoes & tomato sauce. Next, add the herbs and other seasonings, break up the lasagna noodles, cover, and let bubble over low heat until noodles are done.

For presentation spoon ricotta over the top and basil if you have it, cover again for just long enough to heat it (a minute or two), then serve.

It’s a great way to have a vacation from cooking while still enjoying a home-cooked supper.

About Me

Hello, I'm Carine Clary and I'm the FrangloSaxon.

And is that a word? In a word - Yes! It reflects my French connections in the south part of the state and the Anglo Saxon ones on the Arkansas state line. I grew up eating & loving all the foods of Louisiana and the idea is to collect lots of them right here on this website.

What you'll find here is food that reflects everybody's cooking. Creole we know. Cajun we know. But how about Croatian or Vietnamese....or Italian or German....or the underestimated plain Southern food they do so well in the upstate parishes?

They're all part of who we are so pull up your chair and join me for some good eats!

Christopher Sandwich

For everyone coming off the post-July 4th carnivorous barbequed everything high, let me present the Christopher Sandwich. Almost vegetarian (except for the bacon) it’s both filling and light. The avocado and cheese stick to your ribs while the tomato, onion, olives, pickles, and mushrooms add interest and a salty tang.  And then there are the…

Turkey Poulette

Back in the eighties they made a TV movie about a post-apocalyptic world. They called it “The Day After” and anyone who’s surveyed their house, and especially their kitchen, the day after Thanksgiving has lived it.
