To make this Italian Sausage and Pepper Lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of spicy Italian sausage
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package of lasagna noodles
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Add the diced bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Next, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes.
While the sauce is simmering, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and set them aside.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of the sausage and pepper mixture. Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top of the sausage mixture. Repeat these layers until all of the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
