Brown the Meat

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add...

• 1/2 lb italian sausage
• 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic

Break into 2-inch pieces...

• 8 dry lasagna noodles

Insert the noodle pieces into the meat mixture at a 45-degree angle.

Pour the remaining sauce and 3/4 cup water over the top.

Note: Ensure the noodles are completely submerged to prevent hard spots.

Simmer

Cover the skillet and simmer for 20–25 minutes. Stir every few minutes to keep noodles from clumping. Cook until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.

While the pasta simmers, whisk together...

• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
