Steps

  1. Heat a 10 or 12-inch cast iron skillet on medium heat. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, that's ok! Use ANY skillet, as long as it is large enough.
  2. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil, onion and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes then add the ground beef.
  3. Saute the meat and break it up with your cooking utensil for 5 minutes, it should just be beginning to brown.
  4. Add the Italian seasoning, cumin and red pepper flakes, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes longer, until fragrant.
  5. Pour the jar of marinara sauce on top, along with the water.
  6. Break up the lasagna noodles into pieces and lay them on top of the beef mixture and stir, ensuring each noodle is covered with liquid.
  7. Cover the pan and reduce heat to low-medium.
  8. Cook on low-medium heat, for 23-25 minutes, or until the lasagna noodles are al dente.
  9. In a bowl, mix together the cheeses (cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese).
  10. Turn the heat off and remove the cover. Mix in the cheese mixture. Sprinkle additional parmesan cheese and mozzarella on top.
  11. Next, turn on the broiler and broil for about 2 minutes until the cheese mets and turns a nice golden brown.
  12. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of chopped basil, if desired, and enjoy!
