Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Italian sausage
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 sheets Lasagna noodles (broken into 2-inch pieces)
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 2 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour in 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the broken lasagna noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender.

Step 7

Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the skillet, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

Step 8

Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving hot.
