How to Make Stovetop Lasagna Casserole

Brown the beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and the minced garlic until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
Cook the zucchini
Add the diced zucchini and the remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.
Combine and sauce
Stir the beef and zucchini together, then add 1½–2 cups of marinara sauce. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Add the Egglife wraps
Gently fold in the diced Egglife wraps, stirring just until warmed through and evenly distributed.
Add the ricotta
Drop spoonfuls of ricotta cheese over the mixture, lightly pressing it into the skillet. Avoid overmixing to keep a lasagna-style texture.
Top and melt
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. Cover and cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Spoon into bowls and serve hot.
