Ingredients
Lasagna Sheets: 6 medium
Ground Beef: 1 lb
Marinara Sauce: 2 cups
Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup (shredded)
Olive Oil: 1 tbsp
Fresh Basil: 1 tbsp (chopped)
Milk Powder (optional): 1/2 cup
Broth (optional): 1/2 cup
Instructions
Warm the 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, coat the pan, then add ground beef. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking into clumps
Add marinara to the beef. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and beef is evenly coated
Layer 3 lasagna sheets across the skillet. Spread half the meat-sauce mix, top with half the mozzarella, and 2 tbsp marinara as a moisture barrier
Repeat layer: pasta ➡️ meat-sauce sleaching ➡️ mozzarella. Cover with the final pasta layer and remaining marinara. Simmer 5 minutes for hydrated pasta, then finish with basil
Notes
For layered texture, cover the final layer with foil for the last 5 minutes
Substitute lasagna sheets with 4 round corn tortillas, cut into 3 strips each
Lower lean ground beef mix (85/15 fat) prevents clumping
Low-carb: Use 1/2 cup ricotta, 1 egg, and 2 tbsp Parmesan in place of mozzarella
Extra richness: Add 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk to meat sauce
Pre-oven test: Simmer time might increase 30-60 seconds with lower-heat stovetops
Grilled marinara: Lightly char sauce along the edges for smoky depth
