Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion any color
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups tomato sauce
- 3-4 cups beef broth or chicken broth, or water
- 8 ounces lasagna noodles broken into 2-inch pieces (about 8 to 9 full noodles)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese plus more for serving
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese plus more for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley or basil for serving
Instructions
- Brown the beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
- Add the onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic, oregano, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 30 seconds, until the herbs are fragrant.
- Add the tomato sauce and broth and bring to a low boil. Add the noodles and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, reducing the temperature as necessary to keep the liquid at a low boil (as the liquid reduces, the sauce gets more vigorous), stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low, fold in the mozzarella, and parmesan cheese and simmer for 2 more minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Ladle the mixture into bowls and top with a little more mozzarella and fresh parsley or basil. Serve with extra parmesan cheese on the side.
