Savory Skillet Lasagna: A Cheesy Delight

Ingredients

• A generous drizzle of olive oil
• Finely chopped a medium-sized onion
• A substantial portion of hot Italian sausage
• Diced a medium red bell pepper
• A couple of handfuls of sliced mushrooms
• A jar of RAGÚ® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce (24 ounces)
• Broken pieces of no-boil lasagna sheets (from a 9-ounce pack)
• A cup of water for consistency
• Sprinkle of crushed dried rosemary
• Creamy ricotta cheese (8 ounces)
• Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (8 ounces, divided)
• Minced fresh Italian parsley (2 tablespoons)

Step 1

Begin by heating up a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it coats the surface evenly. As the oil shimmers, toss in the diced onion and let it sizzle until it turns translucent, releasing its sweet aroma, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, introduce the savory sausage, vibrant red peppers, and earthy mushrooms to the pan, letting them mingle and cook until the meat is perfectly done, approximately another 5 minutes.

Step 2

Now, it's time to infuse the dish with flavor - pour in the rich Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional sauce, along with the broken lasagna noodles, a splash of water, and a hint of fragrant rosemary. Lower the heat to a gentle medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the ingredients simmer and meld together for about 20 minutes. Remember to give it an occasional stir, ensuring the pasta reaches that perfect al dente texture.

Step 3

Once the pasta is cooked to perfection, uncover the skillet and add dollops of creamy ricotta, most of the cheese, and freshly chopped parsley. Stir everything together until well combined. Finally, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top for that gooey, cheesy finish. Serve this delectable dish straight from the skillet and watch as it disappears in no time.
