- 1⁄2 lb lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 lb ground lean pork
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt, to taste
- 6 ounces curly-edged regular lasagna noodles, 8 noodles broken into 2-inch pieces (do not use no-boil noodles)

directions
- Cook meat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat, breaking it into pieces with a wooden spoon until fat renders, 3-5 minutes. Drain.
- In the skillet stir into the meat, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp salt and cook over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle broken noodles into skillet, then pour in tomato sauce and water so that it covers the noodles (you may need to add extra water if noodles are especially dry).
- Cover and cook, stirring often at a vigorous simmer until noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Turn off heat, stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dot heaping tablespoons of ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle the remaining cheeses.
- Cover and let stand off heat until cheeses melts, 3-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with basil before serving.

SO delicious, SO easy to make and SO unlike any other lasagna recipe I've ever made! Making this felt like a leap of faith into unfamiliar territory. And WOW: what an exciting end result, and a sense of having discovered a fabulous new way of making a much-loved dish! I made a few adjustments to meet our taste preferences: adding a chopped onion, doubling the garlic and omitting the red pepper flakes, and using 1/2 red wine and 1/2 water in step 3. Next time I make this fabulous recipe, I may well add mushrooms and thyme. Just LOVED the simplicity of making this recipe. Thank you, Engrossed, for a great recipe! Made for New Zaar Stars Tag.

Really good! I used more beef than called for and substituted Italian sausage for the pork. Added a small drained can of mushrooms. Used Newman's Own Sockarooni sauce for the pasta sauce as it is loaded with flavor. This was really simple to make without compromising the flavor from a traditional lasagna. Perfect for a night when you want a good meal but don't want to fuss a lot in the kitchen. Great recipe!

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
