Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces lasagna noodles (broken into bite-sized pieces)
• 3 cups water or beef broth
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 5

Mix the broken lasagna noodles into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed and coated with the sauce.

Step 6

Pour in the water or beef broth, stir, and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Step 7

Once the noodles are cooked, spoon dollops of ricotta cheese on top of the mixture. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the skillet.

Step 8

Cover again and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, and serve hot.
