How to Make Pan-cooked Lasagna
Sauté the garlic in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, then add the tomato sauce, season with salt, stir, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes.
At this point, take a large pan, cover the surface with a ladle of the prepared sauce, then add a sheet of pasta, a couple of slices of cooked ham, and diced mozzarella.
Proceed in the same way, layering until all ingredients are used, keeping in mind to sprinkle grated parmesan on the last layer.
Then, cover the lasagna with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, being careful not to let the edges dry out too much.
Storage and Variations for Pan-cooked Lasagna
The pan-cooked lasagna can be stored in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, until the next day. To make your lasagna even richer, you can add sliced cooked ham with some béchamel.
