-
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, egg, and parsley.
-
- Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot, pushing them slightly into the sauce. Pour water over noodles.
-
- Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
- Once noodles are tender, dollop ricotta mixture over the top. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
