This easy skillet lasagna gives you all of the comforting flavors of lasagna without the time it takes to cook and layer noodles. It comes together quickly in one skillet, making it perfect for busy weeknights when you need a nourishing dinner on the table fast. It’s also a great way to use up those larger zucchini from your summer garden while they are still tender. The noodle-free version makes a delicious low-carb main meal, but if you have hungry teenagers to feed, cook about half a package of pasta until al dente and stir it into the meat mixture before adding the final toppings and baking. Use any pasta shape you like and choose a traditional, gluten-free, or grain-free pasta that works for your diet.
