Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 8 ounces Lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain and set aside if necessary.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken or vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 4

Add the broken lasagna noodles directly into the skillet. Stir to make sure the noodles are submerged in the sauce.

Step 5

Cover the skillet and let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped basil over the top.

Step 9

Let the skillet lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!
