Skillet Lasagna

1 jar marinara sauce
3 cups water
8 oz lasagna noodles
1 lb ground beef or sausage
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 oz Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped parsley, divided
1 cup ricotta cheese(I actually just use cottage cheese because i usually have that on hand)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp pepper

1. Combine sauce and water in skillet. Cover; bring to a boil.
2. Meantime, wrap noodles in clean kitchen towel and break crosswise into quarters. Stir noodles into sauce. Cover; reduce heat and simmer 16-18 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
3. As noodles cook, place meat into skillet; cook and stir over medium high heat 6-8 minutes or until cooked through. Add pressed garlic; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir meat into noodles and sauce.
4. Meanwhile, grate Parmesan cheese. Chop parsley; Set aside 1 Tbsp parsley for garnish. Combine cheeses, remaining parsley and black pepper in a bowl. Scoop cheese mixture over noodles. Cover skillet and simmer gently 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

This is fast, easy and my whole family really likes it.
