  • Stir in salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour in crushed tomatoes and water (or broth). Mix well.

3. Add Noodles

  • Stir in broken lasagna noodles.
  • Press down so they’re mostly submerged in the liquid.
  • Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender.

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

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
  • Reheat in the skillet or microwave with a splash of water
  • Not ideal for freezing due to the noodles’ texture
