Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes
1 & 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes
8 ounce can tomato sauce
8 ounces bowtie pasta
2/3 cup ricotta cheese

Instructions

In a large skillet, add the ground beef, garlic, onion flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook on medium heat, breaking up the ground beef into crumbles, until the beef is cooked and browned, 8-10 minutes.
1 pound lean ground beef, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes, 1 & 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pour the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and pasta into the pan and stir until everything is well combined.
2 cups chicken broth, 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes, 8 ounce can tomato sauce, 8 ounces bowtie pasta
Cover with a lid and bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer for about 14-18 minutes or until the noodles are cooked through.
Remove from the heat and add in the ricotta cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and stir to combine.
2/3 cup ricotta cheese, 2 cups mozzarella cheese
Top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, cover, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese on top is melted.
Top with the parmesan cheese and parsley (optional) and serve and enjoy!

Notes

A cast-iron skillet or a deep skillet works best for an even cooking time and a beautiful presentation.
If using water instead of chicken broth, consider adding a bit of Italian seasoning to amp up the flavor.
Experiment with different kinds of cheese for layers of flavor—think whole milk mozzarella for meltiness and a sprinkle of Parmesan for a sharp bite.
Keep the pasta submerged in the sauce to ensure it cooks evenly and soaks up all the delicious flavors.
For a little kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before serving.
Remember, this easy one pot lasagna is all about simplicity and flavor—don’t be afraid to make it your own!
