Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Measuring chopped garlic from a jar shortcuts prep time. Look for it in the produce section.

Check the doneness of the pasta before the minimum time to avoid overcooking.

This sounds great. I recently made a vegetarian <a href="http://www.paintsandpans.com/2012/04/24/healthy-skillet-lasagna/">skillet lasagna</a> that was delicious too! It has fewer calories, which is nice.

It was okay. I couldn't find the exact noodles at the supermarket so I got lasagna no cook noodles and broke them into pieces. I added 1.5 cups water like the recommended but I covered it while it cooked. I ended up adding another 1/2 cup water and let it cook some more because the noodles weren't quite done so if you can, I would recommend finding the exact noodles. As far as taste, like others said, it's a basic spaghetti and meat sauce in a skillet. Nothing super wowing but quick on a weeknight and better for you than than burgers.

Sooo good! I make this just about every other week! Sometimes I add mushrooms, super easy recipe and the leftovers are great the next day. sometimes i use 35 calorie/slice bread, cooking spray, garlic salt and a little cheese to make homemade garlic bread, just broil for a few min. pairs great with the lasagna skillet!
