Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (24-oz) jar marinara sauce (about 3 cups)
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium beef broth
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles, broken into roughly 2-inch pieces (about 6 to 7 sheets)
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and diced onion, cook until beef is browned and onion soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in marinara and 2 cups water (or broth), scrape up browned bits, bring to a simmer. Stir in broken lasagna noodles.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 12-14 minutes, stirring once halfway, until noodles are tender and sauce thick.
  5. Remove from heat. Dollop ricotta around the pan, top with mozzarella and Parmesan, cover and let sit 2-3 minutes until cheese melts. Serve hot, topped with fresh basil.

Notes

For extra protein, toss in a handful of chopped spinach when you add the noodles. This dish tastes best immediately, but leftovers hold well and absorb flavor overnight.
