TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and heat the olive oil in an oven-safe large skillet.
2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
3
Add the chopped bell pepper, minced garlic, fresh oregano, thyme leaves, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.
4
Cook everything on low heat for about 5 minutes until the garlic and herbs have released their fragrances.
5
Add the crushed San Marzano tomatoes to the skillet, let it simmer for around 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
LASAGNA SWIRLS
6
In a pot, bring enough salted water to a boil for the uncooked lasagna noodles.
7
Boil the noodles until they are al dente, drain them and immediately run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
8
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded fontina cheese, half a cup of basil pesto, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
9
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mix down the length of each noodle. Roll each noodle into a coil, and place each seam-side down in the skillet, snuggling it into the sauce.
TOPPINGS
10
Drizzle the rest of the pesto evenly over the lasagna swirls, then scatter the torn mozzarella on top.
11
Transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and lightly browned on top.
12
Allow the lasagna swirls to cool for about 5 minutes before serving for the flavors to settle.
13
Serve the lasagna swirls garnished with fresh basil.
