For the Base
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Cheese Mixture

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the marinara sauce, water, broken lasagna noodles, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
  5. While the noodles are cooking, in a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  6. Once the noodles are cooked, dollop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the noodles and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Cover the skillet again and let it cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your skillet lasagna!
