Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups jarred marinara sauce
8 no-boil lasagna noodles
15 ounces ricotta cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce jar pesto
12 slices mozzarella
2 cups packaged precooked crumbled sausage
12 frozen meatballs, thawed and finely diced
2 pinches garlic powder
2 pinches red pepper flakes
1 cup grated Parmesan
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cover the bottom of a quarter sheet pan with 1 cup of the marinara sauce. Top with 4 of the no-boil noodles. Cover the noodles with half of the ricotta, then sprinkle the ricotta with salt and black pepper. Spoon over half of the pesto and spread it so it is evenly distributed. Arrange 6 slices of mozzarella in a layer on top of the pesto. Mix the sausage crumbles and meatballs together, then spoon half over the mozzarella. Sprinkle with a pinch of garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Repeat the layers once more, ending with the red pepper flakes.
  • Add the remaining cup of marinara over the top and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until hot and bubbly, another 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve with crusty bread.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling foil
12 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed (about 3 links)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
One 15-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese (about 2 cups)
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup packed basil leaves, roughly chopped
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
One 1-pound block whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
12 flat no-boil lasagna noodles (7-by-3.5-inches each)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl with a slotted spoon and reserve the drippings in the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic to the pan. When the garlic begins to brown at the edges, about 1 minute, add the tomatoes with their juices, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
  • Mix the ricotta, egg, milk, basil, 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Spread 2/3 cup of the tomato sauce across the bottom of an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan. Next, space out 6 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, turning them to fit so there are 2 noodles across and 3 noodles down. (The noodles will expand when they cook.) Top the noodles with all of the ricotta mixture, all of the sausage, 2/3 cup tomato sauce, and half the shredded mozzarella. Add another layer of 6 lasagna noodles and top with the remaining sauce, mozzarella, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan.
  • Lightly oil one side of a large piece of foil. Cover the pan with the foil, greased side down. Bake until the noodles are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is very crusty and brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
