- 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
- 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or Italian sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

- Pour in the marinara sauce, broken lasagna noodles, and water. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender.
- Remove the lid and dollop the ricotta cheese over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the skillet.
- Cover the skillet again and let it cook for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
