Skillet Lasagna Recipe

I think that lasagna is delicious as the weather gets cooler. This skillet lasagna recipe is an easy alternative to baking it in the oven. I serve mine with a toasted sliced baguette and green beans or peas. Feel free to modify this recipe to your liking.

Ingredients:

6 oz dry campanelle pasta, uncooked (or use your favorite shell pasta)
1 pound Italian pork sausage links, casings removed
1 can (26.5oz) meat flavored pasta sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until crumbled and no longer pink, breaking up clumps with the back of spoon. Blend in pasta sauce; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm.

Drain pasta. Place half of cooked pasta in bottom of skillet. Pour half of sauce mixture over the pasta; sprinkle with half of the cheese. Top with remaining pasta, sauce mixture and cheese.

Cover and cook over medium heat 5 minutes, or until heated through and cheese melts. Remove from heat; let stand for one minute. Serve.
