Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour in 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the broken lasagna noodles, ensuring they are fully submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender.
Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the skillet, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving hot.
