Other than perhaps pizza, lasagna often comes to mind first when Italian food is mentioned. What’s not to love about the saucy pasta, zesty and creamy flavors, and all the cheese you could ever want? To top it off, lasagna is delightfully customizable.
Cook the lasagna noodles al dente, according to package directions. They will become sticky, so transfer them to a bowl of cool water and reserve.
In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks, ricotta cheese, cooked chicken breast, salt, pepper and italian seasoning.
In a cold, deep dish electric skillet, pour 1 cup of the pasta sauce into the pan and spread evenly.
Drain and shake off any excess water from the noodles before you use them. Add a single layer of noodles to the skillet, cutting them to size in order to fit properly.
Top with half of the ricotta mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
Add a second layer of noodles, then another 1 ½ cups pasta sauce.
Add a third layer of lasagna noodles. Spread the remaining ricotta mixture on top.
Lastly, add a final layer of noodles and the remaining pasta sauce.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and grana padano cheeses, as well as some italian seasoning if desired.
Cover the skillet and heat to 325°F. Once it reaches that temperature, reduce heat to low (200°F to 250°F depending on your skillet's lowest temperature) and cook for 35 minutes or until lasagna is heated through completely. Let stand covered for 5 minutes. Serve.
