Instructions
Meat Sauce
- 1Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- 2Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain excess fat.
- 3Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 4Stir in crushed tomatoes, water, dried basil, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
Lasagna Assembly
- 1Add the broken lasagne pasta pieces to the simmering sauce. Stir to combine.
- 2Increase heat to medium, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 3Remove the skillet from the heat. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the pasta mixture.
- 4Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- 5Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
