# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or sausage) and 2 teaspoons of minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
02 -
Stir in the marinara sauce, 1 cup beef broth, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
03 -
Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally, and add more beef broth if you feel it's getting dry.
04 -
While the noodles are cooking, season the ricotta cheese with salt and pepper.
05 -
Once the noodles are tender, drop spoonfuls of ricotta over the lasagna and spread around. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly on top.
06 -
Cover the skillet again and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 -
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve hot.
