2 cups crushed tomatoes (canned)

Directions:
Activate your broiler and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While the water heats up, break the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces and prepare to cook them for about 4 minutes once the water is boiling.
Simultaneously, heat a large oven-proof pan over medium and add crushed tomatoes seasoned with a pinch of salt. Let the sauce reduce for a couple of minutes, then incorporate whole basil leaves.
Using tongs, transfer the partially cooked noodles directly from the boiling water to the tomato sauce in the pan. Remove the pan from the heat to start assembling the cheeses.
For a stress-relieving moment, squeeze the mozzarella cheese before tearing it into chunks, along with the mascarpone, and scatter them across the noodles and sauce. Generously top with grated Parmesan cheese, drizzle with olive oil, and add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Place the pan under the broiler for about a minute or until the cheese has melted and the top is slightly browned.
Serve hot right out of the oven. Garnish with additional Parmesan grated right over each portion to elevate the flavor and presentation.
