Ingredients
- 26 oz) marinara sauce
- 3 cups water
- 8 oz. lasagna noodles
- 1 lb. hot Italian turkey sausage or sausage links, casings removed (can use Italian grnd. turkey)
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 oz. Paremsan cheese
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, divided
- 1 cup fresh whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
- Additional grated Parmesan cheese (opt.)
Preparation
Step 1
Combine sauce and water in a 12-in skillet. Cover; bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, wrap noodles in clean kitchen towel and break crosswise into quarters. Stir noodles into sauce. Cover; reduce heat and simmmer 16-18 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
As noodles cook, place sausage into a 10-in skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat 6-8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Add pressed garlic; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir sausage into noodles and sauce.
Meanwhile, grate Parmesan cheese. Chop parsley; set aside 1 tbsp. parsley for garnish. Combine cheeses, remaining parsley and black pepper in a small bowl. Scoop cheese mixture over noodles. Cover skillet and simmer gently 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and ricotta mixture is heated through.
To serve, sprinkle lasagna with reserved parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
NOTES: May work w/ 2 cups water instead (less runny). No-boil noodles can be used – reduce cooking time of noodles to 10-12 minutes; proceed as recipe directs.
