Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 pound Italian sausage
– 2 cloves garlic
– 24 ounces pasta sauce
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 9 lasagna noodles broken into 1-2 inch pieces
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
1-Cook the Italian sausage and olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat until the sausage is fully cooked.
2-Add minced garlic and sauté for one more minute.
3-Stir in the pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, and water to combine.
4-Add the broken lasagna noodles to the sauce.
5-Cover the skillet with a lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring the sauce to a boil.
6-Stir briefly, cover again, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer the noodles in the sauce, stirring occasionally, until they are tender (about 15 minutes). If the sauce thickens before the noodles are done, add more water as needed.

8-Place the ricotta mixture in dollops on top of the noodles, then sprinkle the mozzarella over it.

10-Serve hot.
