  2. Add ground beef to skillet. Cook and crumble beef until no longer pink. Pour in half (8 ounces) of the tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Place broken lasagna noodles evenly over beef. Pour remaining tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes over the noodles, making sure noodles are completely covered in sauce.
  3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and then let simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until noodles are soft. Remove lid and add dollops of ricotta cheese over the top. Gently stir ricotta into lasagna. Place Mozzarella slices evenly over the top. Cover with lid and let steam melt cheese for 3 to 5 minutes.
