- Ingredients
- 16 oz. (about 1½ boxes) Bionaturae Lasagne
- ¼ cup Bionaturae Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 lb. cheese and parsley sausage, out of casing
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 42 oz. (1 ½ cans) Bionaturae Whole Peeled Tomatoes, pureed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 10 basil Leaves, chopped
- ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano
- 8 oz. mozzarella, shredded
- ½ cup Ricotta
- Instructions
- Boil the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add in the chopped onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
- Add in the sausage on medium heat. As the sausage begins to cook, break it up into small pieces with the side of a wooden spoon.
- Cook the sausage for about 7 minutes until it begins to brown slightly and all the pink is gone.
- Boil your pasta and drain. Cool slightly and then cut up each lasagna sheet into about four pieces.
- Add in the pureed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Season with salt, pepper, and basil and continue to simmer for 5 minutes
- Add the pasta to the sauce and combine well.
- Mix in the grated Pecorino, and ¾ of the mozzarella.
- Sprinkle on the remaining mozzarella and dollop the ricotta over the top of the lasagna
- Cover and cook on a low flame until the mozzarella melts about 5 minutes. If you like, you can put the skillet under the broiler to make the lasagna noodles crispy.
- Serve.
