Italian Sausage and Spinach Skillet Lasagna Recipe
Here is a simple recipe for making lasagna in a skillet in under 30 minutes! This dish is full of flavor since you use Italian sausage as the meat and fresh mozzarella and spinach layered on top. Rather than cook the noodles ahead of time and layer with cooked meat, the noodles cook with the sausage and veggies to have a delicious lasagna dish in half the time!
