How to Make Spinach and White Bean Lasagna Skillet

In the true spirit of a one pot meal, this dish is so simple to make! This deconstructed lasagna is perfect for the lasagna lover who thinks making it is too much work! I use a skillet with a lid, but if you don’t have one, use a lid from a large stock pot.

Let’s get started! Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the baby spinach and stir until wilted. If your spinach leaves are too large, use kitchen shears to chop up.

Then add the cannellini beans, alfredo sauce, chicken stock or vegetable stock, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.  Also, if you have fresh basil and/or fresh Italian oregano on hand, add that now as well. I say these fresh herbs are optional, I don’t always have fresh herbs around but if I do I throw them in with the dried herbs for a little extra!

Stir and bring to a low boil. Next, add broken noodles and stir. Break the lasagna noodles as small as you want, if you don’t break them up enough they will stick together so you want them small enough so the sauce gets into all the “layers”.

Reduce the temperature to low and cover. Cook for 20 mins stirring occasionally until noodles are al dente.

Once the noodle are done, dollop ricotta on top and then top with shredded mozzarella. Cover again for another 3 – 4 minutes for until cheese in completely melted.

Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick or add a few dollops of pesto!

Serve immediately! Hope you enjoy!!!
