Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups marinara sauce

  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Break lasagna noodles into pieces and nestle into the sauce. Add ½ cup water.
  6. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
  7. Dollop ricotta over the top, sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan, then cover and cook for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Let the lasagna sit for 5 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for best melt and flavor.
