Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups chicken broth
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and garlic, cook until softened.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Add broken lasagna noodles and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, then top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover and let sit for 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
For a low-carb option, use zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles instead of lasagna noodles.
Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of broth.
For Instant Pot: Use sauté mode for browning, then pressure cook on high for 5 minutes with quick release.
