All the flavor of lasagna in one bowl: ground beef, broken noodles, tomato, mozzarella, and a dollop of ricotta.

Ingredients

  • 2 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil plus 1 teaspoon extra for drained noodles
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ lb ground beef (4 oz)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper/chili flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated/shredded Parmesan
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon ricotta
  • Optional torn basil leaves

Directions

  • Break the noodles into 1- to 2-inch pieces and cook them in a 2-quart saucepan of boiling water as the package directs, stopping just short of tender. Drain and toss with the 1 teaspoon of oil. Set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook the onion for about 2 minutes, then add the garlic for 30 seconds.
  • Add the beef, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomato sauce and broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cream and let it come to a boil briefly.
  • Add the noodles, then stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella until melted.
  • Ladle into a bowl and top with the ricotta and basil, if using.
