Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage meat (Italian sausage, casings removed)
- 26 ounces pasta sauce (with onions and roasted garlic, or use your own recipe)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 6 lasagna noodles (the no-cook kind)
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
How to Make
-
Step 1: Crumble sausage into a plastic colander; place over a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute, and stir. Microwave at HIGH 3 to 3 1/2 minutes more, stirring every 30 seconds, or until sausage is done and no longer pink. Drain well on paper towels. Discard drippings. Rinse and wipe bowl clean.
-
Step 2: Stir together sausage, spaghetti sauce, basil, and pepper in large bowl.
-
Step 3: Spread one-third sausage mixture in bottom of a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch microwave-safe baking dish; top with 3 noodles, 1 cup ricotta cheese, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers once.
-
Step 4: Top evenly with remaining sausage mixture and grated Parmesan cheese. Cover with double-thickness plastic wrap, and microwave at MEDIUM (50% power) 30 to 35 minutes. Using an oven mitt, carefully lift one corner of plastic wrap to allow steam to escape, and let stand in microwave 5 minutes before serving.
