Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 48 ounces spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 large onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons fresh basil
  • 12 ounces lasagna noodles (broken)

Instruction

  • Start by browning a pound of ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat and once cooked, drain the grease and return the meat to the pan.  
  • Add in the chopped onion and garlic and cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Next, break up lasagna noodles into bite sized pieces and add to the pan.  Add in your favorite spaghetti sauce, water and seasonings and stir to combine.  Stir noodles and push them gently down into the sauce until they are all covered in the liquid. Cover and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes or until al dente.  
  • Stir the noodles occasionally to make sure they do not stick together. Once noodles are cooked, remove cover and spoon in ricotta, basil and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and cover again for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
