Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Marinara sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook and crumble it into small pieces until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, the large egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Lay 3 lasagna noodles across the marinara sauce, slightly overlapping.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the cooked sausage, and then another 1 cup of marinara sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process (noodles, ricotta mixture, sausage, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese) two more times.
For the final layer, place 3 lasagna noodles on top, spread the remaining marinara sauce, and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (make sure it does not touch the cheese) and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
