Lasagna
Sometimes you just need to get something on the table. This yummy recipe taste like you have been slaving away all day long. I use a couple of "fast foods" to pull this recipe together. First is the no bake lasagna sheets, and second is Mezzetta Spicy Marinara sauce. No other will do, I have yet to serve this and not have someone ask me about my homemade sauce recipe! If you have to buy marinara this is the one.
- 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
- 1 carrot
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 lb baby bella mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- olive oil
- 1 pkg no cook lasagna noodles
- 1 16 oz ricotta cheese
- 2 jars Mezzetta spicy marinara
- 3 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup shredded parmesan
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella
Mince or purée carrots, celery, and onion.
Add oil to skillet, add minced vegetables, and sauté.
Add sausage and brown, midway through browning add mushrooms and dry seasoning. Cook through.
Starting with sauce, layer sauce, pasta, ricotta, Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella. I do three layers. Top with sauce cover and cook at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of Shredded mozzarella for top.
Pull out, remove cover, and top with additional shredded mozzarella and chopped fresh mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted.
Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes
