Notes
If the cheese starts to brown, cover the skillet with foil. Serve with a fresh salad or roasted green beans on the side. Cool completely and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. Only reheat portions as needed to avoid drying out. Sprinkle a few drops of water over the lasagna as you reheat in the microwave to help pasta from drying out.This recipe is shown being made in a cast-iron skillet. If you use cast iron, remove the lasagna when done serving and wipe the cast iron out immediately and reseason. Letting acidic foods sit too long in cast iron can wear down the natural seasoning. Pre-cooking mushrooms will help to draw liquid out from them, preventing the lasagna from becoming too watery as it cooks. This recipe calls for GirlCarnivore Over Easy Blend however, a generic Italian spice blend will work as a substitute if needed.
