01
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil, swirling it around to coat the pan. Toss in the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, add the sausage, red pepper, and mushrooms, and cook everything together until the meat is no longer pink, around 5 more minutes.

Step 2
Pour in the Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional sauce, broken lasagna noodles, water, and a sprig of rosemary. Give it a good stir, then cover the skillet and lower the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the noodles are tender but still have a little bite.

Step 3
Once the pasta is just right, take off the lid and stir in the ricotta cheese, most of the shredded cheese, and some fresh parsley. Mix everything well so it’s nice and creamy. Finally, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top, let it melt for a minute, and then it’s ready to serve.
Why you’ll love it
This dish brings all the comforting flavors of traditional lasagna without the long wait. It’s cheesy, hearty, and comes together quickly in one pan, making it perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute dinners.
How to serve
Serve with a simple green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. A crisp side of steamed vegetables also pairs well and adds a fresh contrast to the rich, cheesy flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to keep the cheese creamy and avoid drying out the sauce.
