Step 1
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in broken noodles, marinara sauce, water, salt, and pepper until noodles are submerged.
Step 4
Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway.
Step 5
Drop spoonfuls of ricotta over the top and sprinkle mozzarella evenly across the surface.
Step 6
Cover and cook until cheese melts and surface bubbles, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
