  • Pour in crushed tomatoes and water (or broth). Mix well.

3. Add Noodles

  • Stir in broken lasagna noodles.

4. Add the Cheeses

  • Drop spoonfuls of ricotta on top.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly.
  • Cover for another 2–3 minutes until cheese melts.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle fresh herbs on top.

  • Use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner option

  • Swap ricotta for cottage cheese to make it lighter

❄️ Storage & Reheating
