directions
Cook meat in a large nonstick pan over high heat until fat renders, 3-5 minutes. Drain meat and return to pan.
Stir in garlic, pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-high for about 1 minute.
Sprinkle pasta into pan, then pour in sauce and water. After mixture begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring a few times so mixture doesn’t stick or burn.
Remove from heat and stir in half of the mozzarella and parmesan. Dot heaping tablespoons of the ricotta over the mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses, cover and let stand for 5 more minutes.
