Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
This dish combines all the flavors of traditional lasagna but comes together quickly in one pan. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you want something comforting without spending hours in the kitchen. Plus, the gooey cheese and savory sauce make it a family favorite.
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some olive oil. Once it’s hot, add the chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, throw in the sausage, red pepper, and mushrooms, and cook everything together until the sausage is browned and cooked through, which should take another 5 minutes or so.
Step 2
Pour in the Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional sauce, then add the broken lasagna noodles, water, and a sprig of rosemary. Give it a good stir, cover the skillet, and lower the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for around 20 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the noodles are just tender.
Step 3
Once the pasta is cooked, take off the lid and stir in the ricotta cheese, most of the shredded mozzarella, and some fresh parsley. Mix everything together gently, then sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top. Let it melt for a minute or two, and it’s ready to serve.

How To Plate This Dish
Serve with a simple green salad dressed in vinaigrette to balance the richness. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette also pairs well to soak up any extra sauce. A light sprinkle of fresh basil on top adds a bright, fresh touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in the oven to keep the cheese melty. This dish can also be frozen; just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sausage for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute hot Italian sausage with mild sausage or ground beef if you prefer.
Do I need to pre-cook the no-boil lasagna sheets before adding them to the skillet?
No, the broken no-boil lasagna sheets cook directly in the sauce while simmering.
How can I make this dish vegetarian?
Replace the sausage with extra vegetables like zucchini or spinach and use a meatless pasta sauce.
Can I prepare this recipe in advance?
Yes, you can cook it up to the simmering step, then refrigerate and finish cooking when ready to serve.
What can I use if I don’t have fresh Italian parsley?
Dried parsley or other fresh herbs like basil or oregano work as good alternatives.
How do I know when the lasagna noodles are fully cooked in the skillet?
The noodles are tender and easily pierced with a fork after about 20 minutes of simmering.
Can I use full-fat mozzarella cheese instead of part-skim?
