One Pot Lasagna

This recipe was awesome because it tasted like a lasagna but I didn't have to do all the work!

I used frozen chicken sausage that I had from Costco.  I browned it on all sides then I chopped it up.  I also used elbow macaroni noodles from the cannery instead of farfalle pasta.

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Bring to a simmer and stir in pasta and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan until well combined. Using a small cookie scoop, top with dollops of ricotta and cover until heated through, about 2-4 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
