- Garlic – 3 cloves, minced
- Crushed tomatoes – 1 can (14.5 oz or 410g)
- Tomato sauce – 1 can (15 oz or 425g)
- Ricotta cheese – 1 cup (240g)
- Mozzarella cheese – 1 1/2 cups (180g), shredded
- Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup (60g), grated
- Lasagna noodles – 8-10 broken pieces (about 1/2 box)
- Italian seasoning – 1 1/2 teaspoons
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions
- Cook the Meat and Veggies:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef (or turkey) and brown it, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add chopped onion and garlic; cook until fragrant and softened. -
Add the Tomato Sauce and Noodles:
Stir in crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Add broken lasagna noodles and push them down into the sauce. Add water or broth if the sauce is too thick. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender. -
Add the Cheeses:
Once the noodles are cooked, add dollops of ricotta cheese over the lasagna, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly. -
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot, straight from the skillet.
Notes
- If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer uncovered to thicken.
- Can use ground chicken, sausage, or vegetarian options like lentils or mushrooms.
- Add extra mozzarella or different cheeses like provolone or fontina for more flavor.
