A lighter version of traditional lasagna that is quick, easy, cheesy, meaty and made in one pan.

Instructions:
- In a skillet add ground beef, garlic, and onion and cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking up any large chunks.
- Drain the fat.
- Add half the jar pasta sauce to meat mixture; mix until combined. Drop chunks of ricotta cheese over meat and then add lasagna noodles, covering some of it with the meat.
- Add remaining pasta sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. Set burner to low, cover pan with a lid and bake until noodles are soft and cheese is melted; about 15 minutes. Check pasta with a fork.
