How to Make Fast And Easy Skillet Pasta
- Heat a large skillet (at least 12 inches) over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion; cook, breaking up beef with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in spaghetti sauce and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, and gently stir in the pasta. Ensure the pasta is fully submerged in the sauce.
- Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a splash more water if needed to prevent dryness.
- Stir in ricotta cheese and cover; cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to blend.
- Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top.
- Cover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to melt completely and the flavors to meld.
