Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large deep skillet with a lid over medium heat and add olive oil.
  2. Add the onion and cook until soft and lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds.
  3. Add ground beef or sausage. Brown while breaking it up with a spoon until no longer pink.
  4. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Building the Sauce
  1. Pour in crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce; stir and bring to a simmer.
  2. Break no-boil lasagna noodles into large pieces and gently push them into the sauce.
  3. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.
Finishing Touch
  1. Dollop ricotta over the noodles, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
  2. Cover and let it melt for 2 to 4 minutes until bubbling and gooey.
  3. Turn off the heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, and then scatter with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

For crispy edges, uncover the skillet near the end and let the top sit over low heat for a few minutes. Adjust ingredients as desired for variations on the dish.
