How to Make Very Easy Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Combine cheese and sausage: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage, ricotta cheese, and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well.
  4. Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer 3 noodles over the sauce.
  5. Add the sausage mixture: Spread 1/3 of the sausage and ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.
  6. Repeat layers: Repeat layers of sauce, noodles, and sausage mixture two more times, ending with a layer of sauce.
  7. Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top layer of sauce.
  8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  9. Let it rest: Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
