Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in diced onion and garlic, and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Pour in the marinara sauce and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, making sure they’re submerged in the sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.
Stir in ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella. Mix until creamy.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top. Cover for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

You can swap the ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat if you prefer.
For extra veggies, stir in spinach or chopped zucchini during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Use oven-ready lasagna noodles for even faster results.
