Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound Italian sausage

  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce or meatless spaghetti sauce

  • 8 lasagna noodles

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese

  • 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste

  • 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (Optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until brown and crumbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain grease from skillet.

  2. Pour in 1/2 of the pasta sauce and mix with browned sausage. Break up lasagna noodles into 4 or 5 pieces each; set on top of sauce mixture. Add remaining pasta sauce on top of noodles and stir. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until noodles are soft, about 25 minutes.

  3. Add ricotta cheese and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir until ricotta has melted. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top; cover and let sit until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
