Lasagna Pasta

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium heat. Drizzle the olive oil onto the griddle and spread evenly.

2. 2

   Add the ground beef or sausage and break it apart with a spatula. Season with Tuscan Herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked.

3. 3

   Push the meat to one side of the griddle. Add the diced onion and minced garlic with a little extra oil if needed. Cook until softened and fragrant, then mix into the meat.

4. 4

   Pour the marinara sauce over the meat mixture and stir to combine. Let it simmer gently so the sauce reduces slightly and absorbs flavor.

5. 5

   Add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce mixture. Toss gently to coat evenly. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce (you may not need all of it).

6. 6

   Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the pasta. Cover with a dome and cook for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.

7. 7

   Add spoonfuls of ricotta across the pasta. Gently toss so the ricotta creates creamy pockets throughout the dish.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the top.

9. 9

   Add the butter and allow it to melt through the pasta for added richness.

10. 10

    Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot, family-style, straight from the griddle.
