Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, small dice
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, diamond crystal
  • ground black pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 24 ounce jar of pasta sauce, Rao’s tomato basil sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 7 lasagna noodle sheets, broken into 1–2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 7 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons basil, chiffonade
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. In a 12 -inch cast iron skillet, heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the ground beef and kosher salt & ground black pepper. Break up and brown meat 80% of the way, then add sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, until garlic becomes fragrant.
  2. Add in balsamic vinegar and cook for two minutes. Add in Rao’s pasta sauce (or your favorite jarred pasta sauce if you can’t find Rao’s) & water. Stir.
  3. Place broken noodles into the sauce and try to submerge each noodle so they’re covered. Reduce flame to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook until the noodles are al dente, about 20-25 minutes. Be sure to stir the noodles every few minutes so they won’t stick to the bottom.
  4. Mix the ricotta, parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of chiffonade basil together. Season with kosher salt & pepper.
  5. When the noodles are al dente, sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese into the lasagna and mix it in. Spoon the ricotta mixture into little mounds all over the lasagna & sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top. Cover to melt the cheese. Uncover and place the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes to slightly brown the cheese. Enjoy!
