Steps
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, cook until beef is browned and onion is softened, breaking up the meat. Drain excess fat.

Pour in marinara sauce and water/broth. Bring to a simmer.

Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

Remove from heat. Dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the top of the pasta mixture. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Place the skillet under a broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
