Sunday Night Lasagna

Step 1 -In a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the Italian sausage and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2 -Add the onions and the garlic to the Italian sausage and cook, stirring frequently, until they have softened and are fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Step 3 -Add the lasagna noodle pieces to the sausage mixture and evenly pour the marinara sauce over top. Use a spatula to move the noodle pieces around so the sauce can get to the bottom and in between the noodles.

Step 4 -Bring the noodle mixture to a boil.

Step 5 -Reduce the heat and simmer the noodle mixture, stirring and tossing occasionally, until the noodles have softened, about 15 minutes.

Step 6 -In a medium bowl, add the ricotta cheese and the parmesan cheese and stir to combine.

Step 7 -Turn the oven to the broil setting.

Step 8 -Evenly add large dollops of the ricotta cheese mixture to the noodle mixture and gently stir to combine. It will not be fully combined.

Step 9 -Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella over the noodle mixture.

Step 10 -Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil the lasagna mixture until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Step 11 -Transfer the skillet to a wire rack and garnish the lasagna with the basil. Let it sit, about 10 minutes.

Step 12 -Serve.
