Method

7 steps

Brown the ground beef thoroughly in a large deep skillet.
Add the pasta sauce, 2 cups water and the egg noodles.
Cover and simmer until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, adding some of the remaining water if needed.
Stir in the ricotta or cottage cheese.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, until the mozzarella has melted.
Serve hot once the beef is fully cooked and the noodles are tender.

Recipe notes

Helpful tips

Begin with 2 cups water and add more only if the noodles need it.
The noodle quantity varies from 1/2 to 1 pound, so liquid needs will vary.
The stated 5 minutes applies only to melting the mozzarella, not the whole recipe.
The source does not state the noodle simmer time or serving yield.
