Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely diced)
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 25 ounces tomato basil pasta sauce
  • 28 ounces diced canned tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (divided or more to taste)
  • 12 lasagna noodles (uncooked and broken into 2” pieces)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 6 tablespoons fresh basil (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and ground beef: Stir in the minced garlic and ground beef, cooking until browned (about 7-8 minutes).
  3. Spice it up: Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and dried oregano. Stir for a minute.
  4. Incorporate tomato: Add the tomato paste and mix well, then pour in the tomato basil pasta sauce and canned diced tomatoes. Stir and let flavors mingle.
  5. Add broth and seasoning: Gradually pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot and seasoning with kosher salt. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Toss in the noodles: Once bubbling, add the broken lasagna noodles and simmer for about 10 minutes until al dente.
  7. Cream it up: Drizzle in the heavy cream, add half the shredded mozzarella and parmesan. Stir until melted.
  8. Finish it off: Remove from heat and fold in the ricotta cheese and fresh basil.
