Instructions
 

  • Gather ingredients, and have a 10” skillet ready.
  • Add the olive oil to the skillet, and heat over medium-high heat. Then, add the chicken to the skillet, breaking up the clumps with a wooden spoon while it cooks.

Notes

Notes
Ground Chicken: You can use lean ground chicken or lean ground turkey.
White Onion: One small onion is about 1/2 cup chopped.
Basil: Dried basil for cooking, and fresh basil for garnishing and serving.
Garlic: Use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder OR 2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced.
Flour: All-purpose flour, please.
Whole Milk: Whole milk is best, but you can use 2%. Do not use dairy subsitutes for this recipe, as they do not do well when boiled.
Broken Lasagna Noodles; We need about 6 broken lasagna noodles.
Ricotta Cheese: Full-fat ricotta cheese is my preference, but you may use part-skim.
Mozzarella Cheese: Any white melting cheese is great here, and smoked mozzarella would be delicious, too!
Parmesan Cheese: Grated, for serving.
