Instructions
- Boil the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and add in the chopped onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
- Add in the sausage on medium heat. As the sausage begins to cook, break it up into small pieces with the side of a wooden spoon.
- Cook the sausage for about 7 minutes until it begins to brown slightly and all the pink is gone.
- Boil your pasta and drain. Cool slightly and then cut up each lasagna sheet into about four pieces.
- Add in the pureed tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Season with salt, pepper, and basil and continue to simmer for 5 minutes
- Add the pasta to the sauce and combine well.
- Mix in the grated Pecorino, and ¾ of the mozzarella.
- Sprinkle on the remaining mozzarella and dollop the ricotta over the top of the lasagna
- Cover and cook on a low flame until the mozzarella melts about 5 minutes. If you like, you can put the skillet under the broiler to make the lasagna noodles crispy.
