Instructions
- In a large dutch oven (4.5Q or higher) add olive oil and heat over medium high heat.
- Add onion and red bell pepper. Cook 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften.
- Add the ground beef, minced garlic, bay leaf, Italian seasoning.
- Cook for 5 minutes or until ground beef is no longer pink.
- Add in tomato paste and red pepper flakes. Stir to incorporate.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes, broth, salt and pepper.
- Stir and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to simmer and add in lasagna noodles.
- Stir to mix. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the lasagna noodles are tender.
- Turn off heat and stir in 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese on top. Or portion into individual bowls and place a spoonful of ricotta cheese in each serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy with garlic bread and a fresh salad.
Notes
- Switch up proteins - Use Italian sausage or ground turkey instead of beef.
- Get noodley - Try curly pasta or Mafalda noodles for fun shapes.
- Boost flavors - Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup red wine, stir in tomato paste before adding broth, or substitute marinara for crushed tomatoes.
- Make-ahead friendly - Skip cheese when storing, then add when reheating.
