Step 1

Preheat oven to broil with a rack about 8 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring to break it up into small pieces, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add water, marinara and noodles; bring to a simmer. Cook, covered and stirring often to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, basil and parsley.

Step 4

Top with mozzarella (or provolone) and broil until the cheese is bubbly and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Dollop with ricotta. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
