Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 Lasagna noodles, broken into large pieces
- 2 cups Water or broth
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Scatter the broken lasagna noodles over the meat sauce, ensuring most of the noodles are submerged in the sauce.
Pour in the water or broth and gently press the noodles down. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender.
Once the noodles are cooked through, dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the top. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the surface.
Cover the pan again and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your easy stove top lasagna!
