Steps:
- Make the cheese cubes: In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta, cream cheese, Parmesan, egg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Grease an ice cube tray with nonstick spray. Spoon the ricotta mixture evenly into the cups in the tray. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until the cheese mixture is firm, at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
- Make the lasagna: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pot and swirl to evenly coat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and starting to caramelize, 10 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, pork, and lamb and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until no longer pink, 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the red wine and cook, stirring, until completely evaporated, 3 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the sauce, stirring, until slightly reduced, 6-8 minutes.
- Unmold the frozen cheese cubes, then distribute them evenly throughout the simmering meat sauce. Using your fingers or a pair of tongs, insert the noodle pieces vertically in the sauce around the pot. Cover the pot.
- Cook for 18 minutes, then uncover the pot and use a spatula to push down the exposed noodles so they are covered in sauce. Cover and cook for 18 minutes more, until the noodles are tender.
- Remove the lid and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Sprinkle the lasagna with parsley and more Parmesan, if desired, and serve with garlic bread alongside.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a large pot: A large pot will give the pasta plenty of room to cook and absorb the sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the pasta will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick together.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the pasta: This will help the pasta cook more evenly.
- Add salt to the water: Salting the water will help the pasta taste better.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions: Different types of pasta have different cooking times, so be sure to follow the directions on the package.
- Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: The starchy pasta water can be used to thicken the sauce.
- Add the sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add the sauce and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately: One-pot pasta is best served immediately, while it is still hot and saucy.
Conclusion:
One-pot pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one-pot pasta a try!
