"Weeknight Delight: Skillet Lasagna Made Simple"

Here's a simple and delicious recipe for making skillet lasagna:
Skillet Lasagna Recipe
*Ingredients:*
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1 cup of ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
*Instructions:*
1. **Cook the Meat**:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2. **Add Sauces and Seasonings**:
Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes (with their juice), water, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
3. **Add Noodles**:
Break the lasagna noodles into pieces and add them to the skillet. Stir to ensure the noodles are submerged in the sauce.
4. **Simmer**:
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the noodles are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. **Add Cheeses**:
Once the noodles are cooked, dollop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the lasagna. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
6. **Melt Cheese**:
Cover the skillet again and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. **Garnish and Serve**:
Remove from heat and let the lasagna rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
