Ingredients

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 small zucchini, diced

Carbohydrates

  • 8 sheets lasagna noodles, broken into thirds

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Canned Goods and Toppings

  • 28 ounces can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • grated parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425˚F to prepare for baking the assembled lasagna.
  2. Boil Noodles: Boil the broken lasagna noodles in salted water for 7 minutes until they are partially cooked but still firm to hold their shape in the skillet.
  3. Sauté Onions: While the noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, then toss in the chopped onions. Cook for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften and become fragrant.
  4. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet with onions and cook for an additional 20 seconds to release its aroma without burning.
  5. Cook Vegetables: Stir in the diced carrots and zucchini. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become slightly tender but still retain some texture.
  6. Layer Noodles: Drain the boiled lasagna noodles thoroughly and arrange them evenly on top of the cooked vegetables in the skillet, creating a layered effect.
  7. Add Tomatoes and Basil: Pour the undrained diced tomatoes over the noodles and stir in the chopped fresh basil gently to combine all flavors.
  8. Bake Skillet Lasagna: Remove the skillet from the stovetop heat and place it directly into the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes to meld the flavors and finish cooking the noodles through.
  9. Serve: Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top before serving warm. Enjoy your delicious skillet vegetable lasagna!

Notes

  • Breaking lasagna noodles into thirds helps them fit neatly into the skillet and creates easier layering.
  • Partially boiling noodles ensures they finish cooking perfectly during baking without becoming mushy.
  • You can substitute fresh or canned herbs depending on availability, although fresh basil gives the best flavor.
  • For a richer dish, consider adding a layer of ricotta or mozzarella cheese if desired.
  • This recipe is vegetarian but can be adapted to vegan by omitting the butter and parmesan cheese or using plant-based alternatives.
