Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
- 1 small sweet or yellow onion diced
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 ½ - 2½ cups water as needed
- 1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional (add less or more, to taste)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces traditional lasagna noodles
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- 1 ½ cups shredded whole milk mozzarella
- fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a very large (at least 11”) high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook for a few minutes, breaking it up as it cooks into bite-size pieces. Once it is halfway browned, spoon out any excess grease and discard. Then add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, or until sausage is browned and onion is softened and translucent.
- Add the garlic and tomato paste. Stir until the tomato paste coats the sausage and cook for an additional minute.
- Add 1½ cups of the water, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir together and then bring sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Break the noodles into 1" to 2” pieces and add them to the skillet, pressing them into the sauce. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring periodically to keep the noodles from sticking together. The sauce will thin as the noodles soak up the water – add an additional ½ cup of water, as needed, until the noodles are al dente.
- While the noodles cook, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan, and ½ cup shredded mozzarella in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.
- When the noodles are tender, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir the sauce one more time and then place big dollops of the ricotta mixture on top (but don’t stir them in). Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of mozzarella over the top and then place lid back on top of the skillet and allow it to sit covered for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Option: For a browned cheesy top, place the uncovered skillet under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is blistered to your liking.
- Garnish with fresh basil (use whole, sliced, or chopped leaves) - and ENJOY!
