Creating Skillet Lasagna is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or Italian sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir to combine.
4. Season the Sauce: Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Add Noodles: Carefully add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet. Stir to ensure the noodles are submerged in the sauce.
6. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
7. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper.
8. Combine Cheeses: Once the noodles are cooked, drop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture over the lasagna. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan on top.
9. Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet again and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot.
