Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef see NOTES
3-4 uncooked lasagna noodles see NOTES
1 lb Italian sausage see NOTES
1 jar 26-28 oz marinara sauce
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella divided

Instructions

Break lasagna noodles into pieces about 1-2-inches big. Boil according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes total--you want them a little undercooked because they'll finish off in the skillet.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and the italian sausage (if using) and brown well; drain the fat from the pan.
Add the marinara sauce and the water. Heat till boiling then add 1/2 of the mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.
Add the cooked noodle pieces and stir into the meat/sauce mixture. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Top with remaining cheese, then cover and cook until cheese is melted -OR- pop the skillet (ONLY IF IT"S ENTIRELY OVENPROOF) under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Notes

If you are NOT using the sausage, then increase the amount of ground beef to 2 1/2 lbs.

You can cook the noodles in the same pan as meat. After the meat is browned, add the noodle pieces, the jar of sauce and 2/3 cup of water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the noodles are done--about 15 minutes. Then just proceed with the recipe as written.
