Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • spatula

Ingredients

  • t tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (ground)
  • 1 lb uncooked lasagna noodles broken into pieces
  • ½ onion diced
  • 28oz can diced tomatoes
  • 8oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or more
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Maldon sea salt flakes
  • black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
  • Frozen peas or zucchini (instead of spinach or for extra greens) optional

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the Italian sausage and break it up as it cooks.
  • Add the diced onion directly to the skillet with the sausage. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is fully browned and the onions are softened.
  • Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, and water. If you’re using Italian seasoning, add it to season the sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Stir in the ricotta cheese.
  • Add the broken, uncooked lasagna noodles. Make sure the noodles are mostly submerged in the sauce mixture.
  • Add in the spinach (or other greens) and stir until it is wilted down.
  • Add the fresh mozzarella cheese, and cover the skillet until the cheese melts.
  • Sprinkle in the Maldon sea salt flakes and black pepper to taste.
  • Optional: Add frozen peas or zucchini and stir to combine.
  • Cover the skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to settle before serving.
  • Once done, spoon into a bowl and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
