👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

Stovetop Method (Recommended)

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high for 3 minutes.
Brown the beef for 10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add onion and garlic. Sauté 2–3 minutes until translucent and fragrant. 🧄
Stir in crushed tomatoes, spices, broth, and water. Cover and bring to a boil.
Add pasta once boiling. Stir and reduce heat to medium.
Cook uncovered for half the pasta’s recommended time, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let sit uncovered for 5 minutes so pasta finishes cooking.
Discard bay leaf.
Serve hot with ricotta and Parmesan on top. Enjoy! 🍲🧀

💡 Pro Tips Section

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently and add a splash of broth if it thickens.
Freezing: Freeze without pasta for best results. Add fresh-cooked pasta when reheating.
Pasta swap: Any short pasta works—try rotini or penne if you’re out of lasagna noodles.
Make it lighter: Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
