Step 1
Break lasagna noodles into rough 2-inch pieces. Brown ground beef in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high, breaking up with a spoon, about 5 minutes until no pink remains.
Step 2
Stir in marinara sauce and broken noodles. Add 1 cup water, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 6 minutes until noodles are tender.
Step 3
Dollop ricotta over the top in spoonfuls. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Cover and cook 2 more minutes until cheese melts and surface looks glossy. Remove from heat and let sit 1 minute.
Step 5
Serve hot directly from the skillet.
