A good lasagna without all the hours of work of a traditional version

This version uses spicy Italian sausages for maximum flavor in a short cooking time. I also love the goat cheese, which adds a fresh, punchy flavor that contrasts beautifully with the spicy sauce. You could also substitute with Fiorella ricotta if preferred.

I add yellow bell pepper for a touch of sweetness in the sauce and deglaze the pan with white wine after browning the sausage and onion. The whole dish is ready in under an hour if all ingredients are prepped in advance!

Preparation
1.

Preheat oven to 375°F and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2.

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add onions and cook 1 minute. Add garlic and sausage, breaking the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon, and cook 2–3 minutes until browned. Add red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, and bell peppers; cook another 3 minutes.

3.

Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the wine reduce for about 1 minute. Add passata and water. Cover and simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Use an immersion blender if desired, leaving some sausage chunks visible.

4.

Meanwhile, prepare the cheese mixture by combining goat cheese, Parmesan, milk, lemon zest and juice, and seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.

5.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente.

6.

Once the sauce and noodles are ready, assemble the lasagna in a ceramic baking dish (ideally 6×9 inches). Start with a layer of sauce at the bottom, then noodles, more tomato sauce, and the cheese mixture. Repeat this process 4 times, finishing with 4 layers.

7.

Top the lasagna with shredded mozzarella, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and black pepper. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until golden and slightly crispy on top.

8.

Serve with a scoop of Ricotta Fiorella and fresh basil.
