Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1/2 cup celery diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 24 oz jar marinara sauce
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 13 oz ricotta cheese

Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove the beef and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, celery, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce, chicken broth, and broken lasagna noodles.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lasagna noodles are tender.
