Easy Peasy Skillet Lasagna

Colleen: "This dish was excellent, I did make one mistake I didn't break apart the lasagna noodles like it asked, but it didn't take away from the taste one bit. Everyone loved it, especially my husband! I loved it because it had the flavors of lasagna without all the tedious work & it's  a ton less calories too,Weight Watchers gives it 7 points. I added sausage to it because I was craving it!"
