I saw this Skillet Lasagna Recipe, and thought why not? So I gave it a try. I didn’t it like it as well as the oven made; but it was very good. If you are pinched for time, and are set on putting Lasagna on the table, this will work. I followed the recipe as written and even though it took a little longer to prepare than I thought, it was still a lot quicker. I think fresh mushrooms would also be very good in this recipe if you have them available. If you like Lasagna, give this Skillet Lasagna Recipe a try-serve with hot biscuits or garlic bread, and you’re family will love it. Enjoy- serves 4-6
