A super easy one pot lasagna with meatballs. This stovetop lasagna is a true game changer. It has everything we love about lasagna, it’s fuss-free, saucy and takes this beloved dish to the next level by using sausage meatballs. Loaded with tender noodles that are cooked right in the sauce, and three kinds of cheese. Serve with a salad and some garlic bread for a real treat.
This isn’t a beautifully layered slowly cooked lasagna that’s finished in the oven with roasted vegetables and bechamel sauce… this one is a little more weeknight-friendly. It’s straightforward, super easy and prepared in just one skillet on your stovetop. And that’s just all there is to it. A weeknight lasagna that you can add to your dinner rotation.
And this is what you’ll get, a super saucy lasagna loaded with Italian sausage meatballs, jazzed up with cream cheese and finished off with three kinds of cheese.
We skip the layering by preparing the lasagna noodles in a sauce that has chicken broth in it. The broth helps to cook the dry noodles, and as they cook, they release starch which thickens the sauce as it bubbles away.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step video.
RECIPE NOTES
- you can add mushrooms, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes or roasted peppers to the sauce
- use sweet or hot Italian sausage
- alternatively, you can finish the lasagna in the broiler for a crispy golden-brown top, but you can add the cheese in the last minutes on your stove if you don’t want to turn on the oven
- you can use sour cream, cottage cheese or ricotta instead of cream cheese
- to keep the cream cheese from curdling, bring it to room temperature before adding to the sauce and use full fat cream cheese
- use a pan that’s big enough, a large Dutch oven or skillet with high sides that will hold the sauce
- storage: keep refrigerated for up to 3 days
