Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until just al dente — tender but with a slight resistance at the center. Drain, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking, and lay flat on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains and the meat registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 7–8 minutes. Tilt the pan and spoon off excess fat, leaving about 1 tbsp in the skillet.
