Recipe by Frank P. Melodia To accommodate busy lifestyles, we created this easy-to-make, time-saving meal that's big on flavor. Serve with a simple salad and some crusty rolls.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb. Italian pork sausage
  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb. part-skim ricotta cheese
  • White from 1 large egg
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 c. jarred tomato sauce
  • 8 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 1/3 c. fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Sauté sausage and zucchini in oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, or until sausage is browned and zucchini tender. Remove skillet from heat; cool slightly.
  3. Combine ricotta, egg white, mozzarella, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Spread 3/4 cup of the tomato sauce on bottom of a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron or nonstick. Top with 2 noodles, long sides touching. Spoon 1/3 each of the sausage mixture, cheese mixture, and basil leaves over noodles.
  4. Assemble 2 more layers, beginning with 2 noodles, then 3/4 cup of the sauce, 1/3 of the sausage mixture, 1/3 of the cheese mixture, and 1/3 of the basil leaves, ending top layer with the last 2 noodles.
  5. Spread the remaining 3/4 cup sauce over top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 35 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
