Ingredients

https://ohsnapmacros.com/lasagna-pasta-skillet/#recipe

  • 1 lbs. lean ground beef 96/4
  • 1 small white onion, chopped 100g
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil
  • 4 cups tomato basil pasta sauce 32oz. (I like Rao’s)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 8 oz. rigatoni noodles measured uncooked
  • 4 oz. low moisture part skim mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 oz. part skim ricotta cheese

Toppings

  • fresh chopped basil
  • parmesan cheese
  • additional ricotta cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil for cooking the pasta according to the directions on the box.
  • While waiting on the water to boil, heat a large pan over medium heat and brown the ground beef while breaking into bite size pieces.
  • When the meat is almost completely cooked through, stir in the chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and dried basil. Cook until fragrant and the onions are beginning to soften, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce and beef broth and set to simmer while you cook the pasta noodles. Add the uncooked pasta to boiling water and boil according to the box instructions (about 13 minutes).
  • Once pasta is cooked, drain and add to the pan with the meat sauce. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes while mixing the noodles in well to fully combine.
  • Add the mozzarella and stir together until fully melted. While the lasagna is still hot add the ricotta cheese on top and slightly mix throughout the dish.
  • Top with freshly chopped basil, parmesan cheese and enjoy.
