Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in broken noodles, marinara sauce, water, salt, and pepper until noodles are submerged.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway.

  5. Step 5

    Drop spoonfuls of ricotta over the top and sprinkle mozzarella evenly across the surface.

  6. Step 6

    Cover and cook until cheese melts and surface bubbles, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

  7. Step 7

    Let rest 2 minutes uncovered, then serve directly from the skillet.
