This lasagna pasta is a quick and easy, one-pot meal. Traditionally, lasagna is made with layered textures, and this recipe is just as delicious and less time-consuming. It is made with deliciously seasoned ground beef, mozzarella cheese, mini penne pasta, which cooks quickly and evenly in the sauce, which is rich in flavor. This delicious and hearty pasta makes the perfect weeknight meal the whole family will enjoy.
I love lasagna. All those layers of noodles, meaty sauce, and cheese are just heaven. BUT sometimes, I don’t want to go through all the work of par-boiling the noodles, making the sauce and cheese mixture separately, and then layering everything. I just want to eat! That’s why I love making this lasagna pasta. It’s a dish that I made for years when my kids lived at home, and I still make it to this day for me and my guy. It delivers all the flavors of classic lasagna, but it’s far less work. And whether you live alone or have a family, that’s always a great thing!
This delicious recipe starts with browned ground beef, onions, and garlic. Then, I add tomato sauce, tomato paste, vegetable broth, and heavy cream to create a rich, creamy tomato meat sauce. Finally, I add pasta and cook until tender, then stir in mozzarella cheese. That’s it! It’s a simple, one pot pasta dish that tastes almost exactly like lasagna, but there are far fewer steps involved!
