Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or Italian sausage for extra flavor)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 oven-ready lasagna noodles, broken into thirds
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the ground beef (or sausage) and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour in the marinara sauce and the water. Stir to integrate the sauce with the meat juices.
  • Add dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir again to build layers of flavor.
  • Scatter the broken lasagna noodles evenly over the sauce—do not stir once they're added.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet tightly, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes.
  • Dollop ricotta cheese across the top, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover again and cook for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts fully.
  • Let the skillet rest off the heat for a few minutes before serving.
