Preparation
Mise en place
Halve the zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice. Break the lasagna sheets into 2-inch pieces.
Start the filling
In a large, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 3 to 5 min., until partially cooked.
Finish the filling
To the pan of beef, add the garlic, zucchini, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the zucchini are beginning to soften and the beef* is cooked through.
Make the skillet lasagna
Preheat the oven to broil. To the pan of beef and zucchini, add the lasagna sheets, tomato sauce, 2 cups water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and a big pinch of S&P; stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring frequently, 12 to 16 min., until the pasta is al dente.
Broil the skillet lasagna
Top the skillet lasagna with the mozzarella, dollops of the ricotta, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Broil, 3 to 5 min., until the cheese has melted and the mozzarella is beginning to brown. Let rest for 5 min. before serving.
Plate your dish
Divide the skillet lasagna between your plates. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
