Instructions
In a 5 quart cooking pot, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Drain. Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning and salt and cook for one minute. Stir in spaghetti sauce and water and bring to a boil. Stir in broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until noodles are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan cheese, black pepper. Dot the top of the lasagna with large spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, covered, then sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure you are using no boil noodles. These cook by soaking up sauce, rather than boiling separately, so ensure you use enough sauce that your dish doesn't dry out.
