Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Stir marinara sauce into beef and simmer 2 minutes. Turn heat to low and spread mixture across the skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk ricotta, egg, half the mozzarella, and parmesan in a bowl until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Break cooked noodles into bite-sized pieces and stir into the beef sauce until evenly coated.

  6. Step 6

    Drop ricotta mixture by spoonfuls over the top, then scatter remaining mozzarella over everything. Cover and cook on low until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.
