Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (or Italian turkey sausage)
  • 6 oz fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 Tbsps garlic paste or minced garlic
  • 1 24 oz jar tomato pasta sauce/ marinara sauce (I used Ragu)
  • 1/2 cup red wine (or water)
  • 6 oz oven ready lasagna noodles (also called no boil lasagna noodles)
  • 14 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: sprinkle parsley over top and serve with garlic bread

Instruction

  • Set a large, oven safe skillet (I used cast iron) over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot add the ground Italian sausage, cook 7 to 9 minutes breaking it apart as it cooks.
  • Drain excess grease and set back over medium heat. Add the spinach, kosher salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the pasta/ marinara sauce and the 1/2 cup red wine (or water).
  • Break the oven ready lasagna noodles into pieces and stir them into the sauce. Let this simmer over medium low heat 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in half of the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Spoon dollops of the remaining ricotta over top an inch or so apart over the lasagna.
  • Place the skillet carefully into a 375 degree oven for 35 minutes. Add remaining mozzarella cheese over top and bake 5 to 10 more minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with garlic bread and parsley for garnish is desired.
