Not A Huge Fan Of Ground Beef?
For 20 minute skillet lasagna recipe we use ground beef as the main protein source. However, if you would like to look for alternatives for the ground beef, check out healthy meat substitutes by Better Homes and Gardens that you can use in place of the beef.
Don’t Have Sour Cream?
Depending on if you are one that likes sour cream, you might not have it already available. You are able to substitute it with plain Greek yogurt if you have that, or there have been plenty who have used 4 ounces of cream cheese in its place.
Note that the cream cheese will most likely make the pasta a little thicker but just as tasty!

You're so right, sometimes you just need something quick to throw together. This looks good, though - much better than resorting to fast food to get through those busy evenings!

Havent made this in a long time and I love the idea of bowtie noodles. much heartier noodle like a lasangne noodle and I have 2 bags waiting in the wings. I dont use the sour cream but I do add in some ricotta/cottage cheese mix really makes it taste like a ziti/lasagne.

This was really good! I added about 1/2 cup of ricotta because of the above comment, and it really tastes just like lasagna, with 1/2 the work! I would make it again.

Can you substitute cream cheese for the sour cream?
-

We are happy that you found us! I think that this would make about 6 good-sized servings. It fed my family of four and we still had enough for lunch the next day for my husband and I. :)

I made this tonight and it was fabulous. The only thing that I changed was substituting 4 oz of cream cheese for the sour cream (I didn't have any in the fridge! Weird!). It was fabulous and decadent. Thank you!
-
bhelgeson says:
I used 4 oz of cream cheese because I didn't have sour cream. It was delicious! I would say the texture would be a little thicker, but I haven't tried with sour cream.
-
Steffy Lynn says:
I'm trying this tonight! I cook for my dad and my brother all week long (49 and 15, although you would think theyre both 15) so hopefully this one they love and we can add it to the rotation! I think i'm going to use ground turkey instead

This has been my go-to recipe for throw together dinners as well as when delivering a meal to a friend. I used lean ground turkey meat, whole wheat pasta and swap out the soup cream with greek yogurt... SOOOO good!!!
-
Nora N says:

Lindsay says:
Wanting to make this tonight for dinner but noticed that I am out of sour cream. Need to go grocery shopping!! Can I leave this out or is there a substitute?? Thanks in advance!!
-
Cyd says:
We have never left it out. We have only made this recipe as directed. The sour cream adds creaminess and flavor.
-
Meredith says:
Does this recipe freeze well?
-
Cyd says:
Hi Meredith, We have never made this as a freezer meal, but looking over the ingredients it should freeze fine in an airtight freezer container.

Angie says:
I love your blog, and I've prepared several of your dishes (w/some minor adjustments) in order to suit my family's palate. I love 'short-cut' meals, and this dish sounds pretty quick & easy to prepare on a busy evening. I do however, have a slight issue with using Sour Cream for 'creaminess' in this dish! Sour Cream will 'throw-off' the entire flavor of this Lasagna dish! If you ever made a REAL Italian Lasagna, you'd know that there is NO Sour Cream in it! Try using (Low-Fat) Ricotta Cheese', ( or) '2% Cottage Cheese', (or) "Neufrachel Cheese" in place of the 'Sour Cream'.... in order to obtain the 'creaminess'. I don't feel that the 'Sour Cream ' would EVER work in this dish, but this is (only) my personal opinion.

Nikki says:
I made this tonight. My only substitution was GF Noodles since I'm allergic to wheat. I thought It was delicious and the sour cream tasted great!
