Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 9 oven-ready lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the ricotta cheese, marinara sauce, diced tomatoes (with juice), water, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the broken lasagna noodles until they are submerged in the sauce.
  5. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the noodles are tender.
  6. Remove the lid. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. Cover again for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef or ground turkey for the Italian sausage.
  • If you do not have oven-ready noodles, use regular lasagna noodles broken into pieces and increase the cooking time by about 5-8 minutes, checking for tenderness.
  • For a richer flavor, use cottage cheese instead of ricotta cheese.
