Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 pound ground Italian sausage
1 (26 ounce) jar garlic and onion spaghetti sauce (such as Ragu® Robusto® Sauteed Onion & Garlic Pasta Sauce)
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2.5 quart baking dish.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender, and drain.
Cook and stir the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the fat from the meat, pour the cooked pasta and spaghetti sauce into the skillet, and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Pour half of the hot pasta-sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spread with the cottage cheese in an even layer, and sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese. Spread the remaining pasta mixture over the cheese, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until the casserole is hot and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Let it stand 5 minutes to firm up before serving.

Tips:

Choose the right lasagna noodles: Look for lasagna noodles that are specifically labeled "no-boil" or "oven-ready." These noodles are designed to cook in the oven, eliminating the need for a separate boiling step.
Layer the lasagna properly: Start with a layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan, followed by a layer of noodles, a layer of cheese, and a layer of meat or vegetables. Repeat these layers until you reach the top of the pan, ending with a layer of sauce and cheese.
Don't skimp on the sauce: Lasagna is all about the sauce, so be sure to use a sauce that you love. A good rule of thumb is to use about 3 cups of sauce for a 9x13-inch lasagna pan.
Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will give your lasagna a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese.
Bake the lasagna uncovered: This will help the lasagna to brown on top and get a crispy crust.
Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice and serve.

Conclusion:

Lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a lasagna recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give lasagna a try. You won't be disappointed!
