Skillet Lasagna

Preheat oven to broil with a rack about 8 inches from the heat source.

Heat oil in a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring to break it up into small pieces, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add water, marinara and noodles; bring to a simmer. Cook, covered and stirring often to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, basil and parsley.   

Top with mozzarella (or provolone) and broil until the cheese is bubbly and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Dollop with ricotta. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
