Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground turkey or lean ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth or beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup spinach (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Grab a big pot and warm it up over medium heat. Add your ground turkey or beef and cook until it is browned. Break it up as it cooks.
- Add chopped onion and cook for a few minutes until softened. Toss in garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
- Stir in tomato paste, then add crushed tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Bring it to a gentle boil, then lower to a steady simmer. Add broken lasagna noodles.
- Cook until the noodles are tender, usually around 10 to 14 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Mix cottage cheese or ricotta with a little Parmesan and a pinch of salt for your creamy topping.
- Turn off the heat. If adding spinach, stir it in now to wilt.
