Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms chopped
  • 2 medium garlic cloves minced
  • 2 14.5-ounce cans Italian diced tomatoes drained
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 3 large fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 ounces lasagna noodles broken into thirds and cooked
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, add the drained Italian diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Add the chopped fresh basil, black pepper, and sea salt to the skillet. Stir everything to ensure the flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently fold in the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until the cheeses are well incorporated into the sauce.
  5. Add the cooked lasagna noodles. Gently fold them into the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the sauce and cheese mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese over the top of the lasagna mixture.
  7. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you like a bit of a golden crust, you can broil it for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh Italian parsley. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Let the lasagna cool completely before storing.
  • Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze it for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
