Everything you love about lasagna, without all the mess!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup yellow onion, diced
1 pound 93% lean ground beef
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces whole wheat farfalle pasta
2 cups water
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, and sauté 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and stir in uncooked pasta. Stir in 2 cups water. Bring to boil, cover, and reduce to a low simmer until pasta is al dente, about 12-15 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until well combined. Using a small spoon, top with dollops of ricotta and cover until heated through, about 2-4 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Suggestion: If you have a little red wine leftover from dinner last night, add a splash with the tomato sauce to brighten up the dish!
