Sear the Meat: In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

Build the Base: Add onions and garlic; cook until soft (3 mins). Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to caramelize.

Simmer: Pour in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and seasonings. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Cook the Pasta: Submerge the wide pasta ribbons into the sauce. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until pasta is al dente and sauce has thickened.

Finish: Stir in heavy cream (if using) and half the parmesan. Let it bubble for 1 more minute.

Serve: Remove from heat. Top with remaining parmesan and fresh basil. Serve immediately while steaming hot!

Pro Tip: Use fresh lasagna sheets cut into strips for the most authentic texture!
