# How to Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

04 - Add broken lasagna noodles to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
