One Pot Skillet Lasagna

One pot Skillet Lasagna! Browned beef, hearty pasta and an herby marinara sauce are all simmered together in a skillet on the stovetop then layered with a trio of rich Italian cheeses and cooked to melty deliciousness. The easiest way to make a fantastic lasagna!

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb (90 to 95% lean) ground beef
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce (I like to use Classico Four Cheese here)
• 1 1/4 cups water, then more if needed
• 3 Tbsp chopped chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
• 3 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or more to taste (optional)
• 9 (7.5 oz) uncooked lasagna noodles, broken into 1 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 cup (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup (8 oz) ricotta cheese
• 1/3 cup (1.4 oz) freshly grated parmesan cheese
