Equipment

  • Large skillet with a lid
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 2 teaspoons minced or jarred garlic
  • 1 jar marinara sauce 32 oz
  • 1½ cups beef broth more if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 oz lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or sausage) and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
  • Stir in the marinara sauce, 1 cup beef broth, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally, and add more beef broth if you feel it's getting dry.
  • While the noodles are cooking, season the ricotta cheese with salt and pepper. Once the noodles are tender, drop spoonfuls of ricotta over the lasagna and spread around. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly on top.
  • Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve hot.
