Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 2 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomato
  • ½ cup chicken or beef broth
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¾ pound lasagna noodles broken
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Toppings

  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Add the ground sausage to a large skillet and cook over medium heat while stirring. Once the sausage is mostly cooked add the diced onion to cook.
  • When the onion is translucent and soft and sausage is cooked through add the minced garlic. Cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomato sauce, diced tomato, and broth, to the skillet. Stir to combine. Add seasonings and stir. Bring this to a light boil/simmer.
  • Break the lasagna noodles over the skillet and add to the sauce. Press the noodles down as much as possible into the sauce. Cover the pan and allow to simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes stirring frequently. If the noodles seems to be becoming too dry during the cooking add another 1/2 cup of water or broth and continue cooking.
  • Once the noodles are softened add in a cup of mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Serve and top with additional mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Stir the noodles frequently to help keep them from sticking together while the pasta cooks.
  • Keep the heat medium low, the sauce at a low simmer, and the lid on. This helps the noodles to soften completely in the amount of sauce.
