Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 cups water
- 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine.
- Pour in the marinara sauce and 2 cups of water, stirring well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Add the broken lasagna noodles, stirring to coat them with sauce.
- Cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until noodles are tender.
- Preheat your oven broiler to 375°F if your pot is oven-safe. If not, keep everything on the stove.
- Stir in the ricotta cheese until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the lasagna.
- If using the oven, place the pot under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Otherwise, cover the pot for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
