Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more/less to taste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 15- ounce can tomato sauce
  • 15- ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth or water plus more if needed
  • 8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese plus more for serving

Instructions

  • Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. If necessary, drain any fat from the pan.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and broth and bring to a low boil. Add the broken lasagna noodles and stir to completely coat the noodles with the sauce.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 15 minutes, until the noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be simmering, not rapidly boiling. If necessary, add a little more broth or water to keep the sauce thick and simmering.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
  • Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese melts (or place the pan under the broiler if you want golden, bubbling cheese).
  • Serve with extra parmesan cheese on the side.
