Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups sweet onion peeled and diced small (about 1 large onion, Vidalia or yellow onion
  • 4 garlic peeled and finely minced or pressed with a garlic press, cloves
  • 1 pound ground beef I used extra lean
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ pound lasagna noodles about 8 noodles, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • diced tomatoes I used petite diced, no-salt-added, two 14.5-ounce cans with juice
  • tomato sauce marinara or red pasta sauce may be substituted, one 15-ounce can
  • ¾ cup water
  • salt optional and to taste
  • ricotta cheese heaping 1/2 cup
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced into thin rounds, fresh
  • cup basil torn into small pieces, fresh leaves

Instructions

  1. To a large skillet (at least 12 inches in diameter and 3-4 inches deep) or Dutch oven, add the olive oil, onions, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until onions begin to soften. Stir intermittently.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir intermittently.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir intermittently.
  4. Add the Italian seasoning, pepper, and stir to combine.
  5. Add the lasagna noodles and cover them with the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water. Cover pan and allow sauce to simmer over medium-low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until noodles are tender and cooked through.
  6. Taste and add salt, to taste. This will vary based on how salty the tomatoes and tomato sauce are, and personal preference. Note that both cheeses you’re about to add also have salt. Make any necessary seasoning adjustments (salt, more pepper, more Italian seasoning, etc.) as necessary. Stir everything well.
  7. Add the ricotta by tablespoonfuls, evenly distributed. Stir gently to incorporate but don’t overmix.
  8. Turn the heat to low, add the mozzarella, evenly distributed. Cover skillet with a lid for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until mozzarella melts.
  9. Garnish with basil, evenly distributed, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Lasagna is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Reheat gently as necessary.
