Instructions

1

In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked.

2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

3

Pour in the marinara sauce and beef broth, stirring to combine with the meat.

4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5

Add the broken lasagna pieces into the pot, pushing them down so they are submerged in the liquid.

6

Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

7

Once the pasta is al dente, turn off the heat.

8

Drop dollops of ricotta cheese over the top of the mixture.

9

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the entire surface.

10

Cover the pot with the lid again and let it sit for 3-5 minutes until the cheeses are melted and creamy.

💡 Chef's Tip

For the best 'layered' effect, do not over-stir once the cheese is added; simply cover and let the residual heat melt the cheese into beautiful pockets. Ensure the pasta pieces are completely submerged in the sauce-broth mixture initially to avoid crunchy bits.
