In a large skillet, brown and crumble 1 pound ground beef along with 1 small onion, diced and 2 cloves garlic, minced over medium heat. Drain excess grease, place back in skillet.
Stir in 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth, 14.5 ounce can Italian diced tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
Stir in 2 cups mafalda pasta, uncooked and simmer for 12-14 minutes until pasta is tender (stirring occasionally.)
The longer you simmer the mixture, the more liquid the pasta will absorb. So if you want a thicker mixture, just let it simmer longer.
Stir in 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (add more, if desired.)
Serve and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes
If you can't find Mafalda pasta, just use rotini or penne pasta.
This can be made with ground sausage or ground turkey.
For a little spice, try adding some red chili flakes.
Try adding a dollop of ricotta cheese to really amp up that lasagna flavor and texture.
