Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

This dish combines all the flavors of traditional lasagna but comes together quickly in one pan. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something comforting without spending hours in the kitchen. Plus, the gooey cheese and savory sauce make it a family favorite.

Better Cooking Tips

- Use no-boil noodles to save time and avoid extra steps.
- Stir gently when layering to keep the noodles from breaking apart.
- Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes after cooking to help it set and make serving easier.

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Once it’s hot, add the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, throw in the sausage, red pepper, and mushrooms, and cook everything together until the sausage is browned and cooked through, which should take another 5 minutes or so.

Step 2

Pour in the Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional sauce, then add the broken lasagna noodles, water, and a sprig of rosemary. Give it a good stir, cover the skillet, and lower the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for around 20 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the noodles are just tender.

Step 3

Once the pasta is cooked, take off the lid and stir in the ricotta cheese, most of the shredded mozzarella, and some fresh parsley. Mix everything together gently, then sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top. Let it melt for a minute or two, and it’s ready to serve.

How To Plate This Dish

Serve with a simple green salad dressed in vinaigrette to balance the richness. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette also pairs well to soak up any extra sauce. A light sprinkle of fresh basil on top adds a bright, fresh touch.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in the oven to keep the cheese melty. This dish can also be frozen; just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
