You can add 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained, to the sausage mixture if you like - this adds nutrition and color, but of course that makes six ingredients!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. Italian sausage
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1-1/2 cups ricotta cheese
- 28-oz. jar chunky pasta sauce with vegetables
- 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook Italian sausage in a heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring to break up meat, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain well. Mix cooked sausage, 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and ricotta cheese in medium bowl.
Place about 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce in 9" square baking dish. Top with three lasagna noodles, then with 1/3 of sausage filling. Repeat layers, ending with spaghetti sauce. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and return to oven. Bake 5-10 minutes longer until cheese is melted and browned. 6 servings
