Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lasagna noodles or packaged precooked lasagna noodles coarse salt 5 links sweet Italian sausage, or a mixture of hot and sweet, pierced with a fork 1 large egg 1 pound ricotta cheese 3/4 cup freshly grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving 5 cups Basic Italian Tomato Sauce, (double the recipe and cook for 30 minutes longer to thicken) 1 pound fresh or prepackaged mozzarella cheese, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and a generous pinch of salt and cook for half as long as the package suggests. Drain and float in cold water. (Skip this step if noodles are precooked.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, fry the sausage links until cooked through, about 10 minutes. With kitchen scissors, cut the sausage into disks in the pan and continue to fry over low heat until the cut surfaces are crispy, about 20 minutes. Drain off the fat.

In a medium bowl, stir together the egg, ricotta, and 1/2 cup of the pecorino.

To assemble the lasagna, spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drain and pat dry the noodles. Overlap one third of the noodles atop the sauce to cover the pan bottom. Spread all the cooked sausage over the noodles and spoon over another cup of sauce. Lay down the second third of noodles. Evenly dollop all the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles and flatten with the spoon to make an even layer. Top with the remaining noodles to completely cover the cheese. Pour over 1 1/2 to 2 cups sauce to cover. Evenly lay all the mozzarella slices on top. Sprinkle around the remaining 1/4 cup pecorino and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the lasagna is bubbling all over and lightly golden on top. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with grated cheese and warmed extra sauce at the table.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/07/2018   I followed the recipe and loved it. The sauce was delicious and perfect ratio's of cheese, noodles, meet and sauce. Very easy to follow. Best Lasagna I have made.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/29/2015   I made this last night with the suggested sauce. The sauce (using 2 28 oz. cans of tomatoes) netted 4 cups after cooking down for one hour. Just enough for one lasagna. I really like this recipe - so easy and the taste is simple but good. I removed the sausages from casings and cooked it loose, so the meat would be distributed more evenly, but that was the only change. Fresh mozzarella is so much better than conventional - makes a huge difference. Will make this again.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2013   This was a huge hit with my family!! Will definitely be making this again! Thanks, Lucinda!!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/06/2011   I would simply bake it longer if not thawed. Maybe the 1st 30 minutes with foil on it. as a precaution, I would only use an aluminum or disposable foil dish if freezing.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/29/2010   If you are freezing this before cooking, how do you adjust the cooking time/temp?
