Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Going Step by Step
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Press them gently into the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the noodles are tender, remove the skillet from heat. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the top, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella.
- Cover the skillet again and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
