• Large skillet or frying pan
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board

Directions:

1. First, add the olive oil to a large stock pot or dutch oven. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and the onions turn translucent, about 3-5 minutes. 🧄
2. Next, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and the meat is cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat once done. 🍖
3. Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a rolling boil.
4. Add the broken lasagna noodles and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from clumping together. 🍜
5. Before serving, add in the spinach and let it wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the spices or broth to your preference.
6. Serve hot, optionally topped with ricotta cheese or cottage cheese for added creaminess! 🧀
