Lasagna Toss image

This is based on a recipe that I received from my aunt at my bridal shower about 6 years ago. I finally used it this last year and modified it to make it a quicker meal. Hey, a working wife has to survive somehow! This is a quick, and EASY, alternative to lasagna when you don't have much time, it's great for a weeknight meal! Serve with side salad and garlic bread and you have a quick and yummy meal!

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

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.

I thought the lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The lasagna was delicious, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. I would probably use less cheese next time.

This lasagna was a hit with my family! The layers of pasta, cheese, and sauce were perfect, and the addition of the spinach and artichokes gave it a unique and delicious flavor.
