Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced, about 1 cup
  • ½ pound lean ground beef
  • ½ pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 7 lasagna noodles broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot
  • Add onions, and cook until just soft
  • Add the ground beef and sausage, and cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking up with a spatula as you go. Drain grease if needed
  • Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder
  • Stir in pasta sauce and noodles
  • Stir in water, bring to a boil, cover, and cook on medium heat until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally, so they don't stick to the skillet
  • Meanwhile, add the ricotta and Parmesan to a small bowl, and stir to combine
  • When pasta is tender, reduce heat to simmer, stir in part of the ricotta mixture, then drop dollops of the ricotta on top of the pasta
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta, cover, and allow to melt. You can place the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese, if desired

Notes

Make sure you are using an oven-safe skillet or pot if you want to broil the pasta.
You can sub cottage cheese for the ricotta and beef broth for the water. You can also use turkey sausage, or all beef for the meat.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes to allow the pasta and sauce to firm up a bit before serving, if desired.
