Ingredients

1 lb ground Italian sausage
½ medium onion (finely dlced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups low sodium beef broth
2½ cups marinara sauce (1 650 ml jar)
14 lasagna noodles (broken) about 200 grams
½ cup ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (if you want to broil your cheese, make sure it is an oven-proof skillet).
Add sausage and onion and cook, stirring often, until browned and onion is softened.
Add garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, oregano and pepper flakes and cook 1 minute.
Stir in marinara sauce and broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in broken lasagna noodles, cover and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally (about 10-12 minutes).
When pasta is al dente, dollop ricotta over the top, and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan. You can either cover with the lid to melt the cheese, or broil for 2-3 minutes. Serve.

Notes

Ingredients and Substitutions:

Italian sausage: you can swap the sausage with lean ground beef if you don't have any, but keep in mind that Italian sausage offers a load of spices and herbs, so you will want to increase the seasoning. For a lighter option, you can choose Italian turkey sausage or chicken sausage.
Vegetables: this is a basic, classic version that's light on veggies, but they are easily added! Firmer vegetables, like peppers or mushrooms, can be added with the meat and onion. Softer vegetables, like spinach, can be stirred in just before the cheese is added.
Beef broth: if you don't have beef broth, you can use chicken or vegetable in its place. You can also use water, but you may want to add bouillon or increase the seasonings.
