About 1H 30M to make Serves 6-8 9”x13” Baking dish
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 box (454g) oven-ready lasagna noodles
- 8 sausages, uncased
- 1.5 L of strained tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded + more for the top
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a large deep skillet to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat. Add the sausage meat to the skillet and sauté until the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the strained tomatoes and 1 cup water or more if your strained tomatoes are too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, season the sauce and lower the heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking, make your cheese mixture. In a large bowl, mix all the cheeses together until combined. Set aside.
- Set up your lasagna layering station: baking dish, noodles, sausage sauce and cheese mixture.
- Spread sauce to cover the bottom of the 9”x13” baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, a layer of sauce and a layer of the cheese mixture. Top with lasagna noodles and repeat with a layer of sauce and a layer of cheese. Repeat again or until all of the ingredients are used up. Top the lasagna with extra mozzarella cheese.
- Cover with non-stick foil paper and place baking dish on top of an oven tray (this will catch any sauce that boils over during the cooking process and will save your oven from a mess!) Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the noodles are cooked through, about 40 minutes. Uncover the lasagna and switch your oven to broil setting. Bake the lasagna for about 5 minutes, watching it carefully so you do not burn the cheese on top. Broil until the top layer of cheese is nicely melted and golden brown.
- Cut the lasagna into squares and serve hot.
