One Pot Lasagna Pasta

When you're looking for an easy weeknight dinner One Pot Lasagna is guaranteed to hit the spot. It's an hearty dinner done in under 35 minutes. 

The sauce and pasta is all cooked in one pot before being topped with a cheesy mixture or ricotta or cottage cheese and browned in the oven to create the bubbly cheesy top that makes lasagna a family favorite.

One of my favorite things about this pasta recipe is it can be made with whatever pasta you have on hand. 

I might be finally dropping the One Skillet dinners I've been making the last few weeks, unless you like the lack of dishes then I'll keep hurling them at you.. Hmmm..Maybe hurlings not the right word seems like everyones been doing that lately.. Never mind lets just move on..

Our dishwashers finally up and running! I really started to feel like I somehow time warped back to the 1950's other then I wore yoga pants most days and we won't discuss what my hair may or may not have looked like.  No I did not stick my finger in a light socket.. It's just naturally a mess  unruly..

This totally calls for pasta loaded with veggies, cooked in tomato sauce and smothered in cheesy goodness.. Carbaliciousness! It's my made up word.. I do that a lot.. 

Take me as I am or leave me but it means the most delicious meal totally filled with carbs.. This One Pot Lasagna takes a favorite comfort food and simplifies it for a busy weeknight. 

One day I'll write my own dictionary to add all my made up words that I drive my husband crazy with so they can be real words but for now let's just make some Carbalicious Easy One Pot Lasagna Pasta.

First you'll need a deep oven safe pot or skillet. 

Next we have 2 options here meat or no meat.. If you aren't in the mood for beef just sub it with some zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower and whatever else you find hiding in your fridge just skip browning the beef and go right to the onions.

If you're using ground beef in your oven safe pot cook:

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 16 ounces Lean Ground Beef

Cook ground beef until brown breaking it up with a spatula until crumbly.

Add:

• 1/2 whole Onion, Diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, Minced (Feel free to add more or less garlic to your taste.)

Sauté until onions are softened and garlic is fragrant.

Add:

• 2 stalks Celery, Diced 
• 2 whole Carrots, Diced
• 1 whole Bell Pepper, Seeded and Diced 
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, Sliced

Stir until well combined. If you went the veggie route with no meat add your additional veggies now.

Add:

• 28 ounces Canned Tomatoes, Diced (I really like San Marzano when I can get them.)
• 15 ounces  Tomato Sauce
• 4 ounces Tomato Paste
• 2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
• 2 teaspoons Granulated Garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 teaspoon Honey, Or To Taste

Stir until well combined. 

Add:

• 16 ounces Favorite Dried Pasta Shape (For Gluten Free use Brown Rice Pasta)
• 4 cups Chicken Stock 

Stir until well combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until pasta is almost al dente 10 minutes.

Mean while combine: 

• 1 cup Cottage Cheese or Ricotta
• 2 cups Grated Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1/4 teaspoons Granulated Garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, Finally Chopped 

Note: I used cottage cheese because we almost always have it in the fridge and just running to the grocery store is way more complicated then it use to be plus I don't think I can ever step in the store without spending at least $50.

Spread the cheesy goodness all over the top. Pop your One Pot Lasagna into a 450 degree preheated oven if your pan is oven safe for 8-10minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly brown or cover and cook over low heat until cheese is melted.

Easy peasy! 2 Dishes, a cutting board and a knife and dinner is done.

If you're feeling a little extra Colt's Cheesy Garlic Bread makes a great side. Pizzeria Style Breadsticks are also a favorite or Easy Cheesy Garlic and Herb Breadsticks.
