24ouncesMarainara saucedepending on how saucy you like it
1.5cupsWater
1.5 cupsRicotta cheese
1/2 cupGrated Parmesan cheese
1/2teaspoonBlack pepper
1cupFreshly grated Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a 5-quart skillet pot, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning and salt and cook for one minute.
Stir in marinara sauce and water and bring to a boil.
Stir in broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until noodles are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan cheese, black pepper. Once noodles are tender, dot the top of the lasagna with large spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture.
Sprinkle fresh grated mozzarella on top. Remove from heat and let sit for 5-10 minutes, covered, then sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure you are using no boil noodles. These cook by soaking up sauce, rather than boiling separately, so ensure you use enough sauce that your dish doesn't dry out.
