Easy One-Pot Lasagna

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 Italian sausage links, casing removed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried origanum
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
250 grams farfalle pasta
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Method

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat.

2. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks. Drain excess fat.

3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, origanum, basil, garlic powder and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

4. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the pasta and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.

5. Remove from heat, and add mozzarella and Parmesan. Stir until well combined.

6. Using a small spoon, top the lasagne with dollops of ricotta and cover until heated through, about 2-4 minutes.

7. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
