I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner...on my way to work going 50mph I saw some trash blowing across the road...it got stuck to my car and I could hear it fluttering all the way to work. When I got out of my car I found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill. I took it off and what was it? A torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow. I feel obligated to post them now. This one sites: Cook's Illustrated.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt, to taste
6 ounces curly-edged regular lasagna noodles, 8 noodles broken into 2-inch pieces (do not use no-boil noodles)
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce (about 3 cups)
2 cups water
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, minced

Directions

1
Cook meat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat, breaking it into pieces with a wooden spoon until fat renders, 3-5 minutes. Drain.
2
In the skillet stir into the meat, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp salt and cook over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3
Sprinkle broken noodles into skillet, then pour in tomato sauce and water so that it covers the noodles (you may need to add extra water if noodles are especially dry).
4
Cover and cook, stirring often at a vigorous simmer until noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
5
Turn off heat, stir in half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Dot heaping tablespoons of ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle the remaining cheeses.
7
Cover and let stand off heat until cheeses melts, 3-5 minutes.
8
Sprinkle with basil before serving.

Mmmmm good! I found this while searching for skillets that were made like hamburger helper only homemade, and this fit the bill exactly! I Made half batch (since it's just me) except using the full ammount of the cheeses (have to say i'm a cheese lover!) But i did also use low fat cottage cheese instead of the ricotta , and low fat parm. A Very tasty and easy meal, thank you for sharing your discovered treasures lol

Really good! I used more beef than called for and substituted Italian sausage for the pork. Added a small drained can of mushrooms. Used Newman's Own Sockarooni sauce for the pasta sauce as it is loaded with flavor. This was really simple to make without compromising the flavor from a traditional lasagna. Perfect for a night when you want a good meal but don't want to fuss a lot in the kitchen. Great recipe!

This was easy to put together and tasted good. I used ground turkey and whole wheat penne pasta noodles, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for sharing!

I have this same recipe, and found it in our local paper a while back. I love it, and often make it with Turkey Italian Sausage. I also add a few extra spices and red pepper 'cause I like a little kick!
