Stovetop Meatball Lasagna
I love myself some lasagna. There’s something about pasta noodles slathered in various types of cheese with tomato sauce that does the trick to me. How about you? Do you start to see hearts when you hear the word lasagna too? I was in the mood for lasagna but I wasn’t in the mood to do the stacking that lasagna usually involves. I also wasn’t in the mood to turn my oven on because Summer is here and who wants to heat up their home? So I used my original Lasagna Skillet recipe to come up with a Meatball twist.
The recipe calls for 15 cooked meatballs. It’s really up to you what kind you want to include. Store bought is quick, but homemade is also awesome.
Enjoy this Cheesy Lasagna Meatball Skillet!

Yarm! Totally and absolutely delicious. 🙂
With the lettuce meatballs, do you lose a lot of goodness, the nutritional value, is it lessened by cooking? Lately Ive been substituting pasta with cauliflower, might give your lasagna recipe a go. Cheers, Anna
Pamela says
Lettuce is a iffy one because even when it’s not cooked the main content is water (I believe the percentage is in the high 90%s) not giving it much nutritional value anyways. Since we’re not burning the lettuce here or altering the structure much, it stays pretty similar to raw. Also, a cool fact: 11 calories in 1 cup of Cooked Lettuce. WOW!
