To make this Spicy Sausage Lasagna, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the sausage is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Spread a layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, then top with a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers of sauce, noodles, and cheese until all ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Spicy Sausage Lasagna is the perfect comfort food for a chilly evening, and it's sure to please even the pickiest eaters. The spicy sausage adds a kick of flavor to the classic lasagna recipe, while the layers of cheese and tomato sauce create a rich and satisfying dish.
