Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 10 ounces bowtie or farfalle noodles
Meat and Sauce
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 jar (24 ounces) Ragu Traditional Spaghetti Sauce
Seasonings and Additions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Boil the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the bowtie or farfalle noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly.
- Cook the ground beef: While the noodles are boiling, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook it until it is browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Combine noodles and beef: Add the drained noodles back into the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Drizzle in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and stir everything together to combine evenly.
- Add sauce and seasonings: Pour the jar of spaghetti sauce over the beef and noodle mixture. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and sour cream. Gently stir all the ingredients together, ensuring the cheese and sour cream are well incorporated.
- Simmer the skillet lasagna: Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly heated and the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
- Serve: Once heated through, remove from heat and serve the Bowtie Skillet Lasagna hot. Enjoy your quick and comforting one-skillet meal!
Notes
- For a healthier option, use lean ground turkey instead of beef.
- You can substitute the Ragu spaghetti sauce with your favorite marinara or pasta sauce.
- Adding extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach can enhance nutrition and flavor.
- Use low-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt as a lighter alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
