This is my husband's favorite. I usually buy the ingredients on Saturday, premake the recipe on Sunday - then have for dinner on Monday night. We love lasagna, and this is made in a loaf pan - perfect for the two of us!
Petite Lasagna for 2:
1/2 lb bulk Italian Pork Sausage
1/4 c. chopped onion (I buy the frozen, prechopped onions so they're always on hand)
1/4 c chopped green bell pepper (I buy the frozen, prechopped peppers so they're always on hand)
14 oz jar spaghetti sauce
3/4 c ricotta cheese
2 T grated parmesean cheese
2 T chopped fresh parsley (sometimes sub dried parsley and it's fine)
1 egg, beaten
3 frozen, precooked lasagna noodles, thawed OR 3 oven ready, no boil lasagna noodles (these are my favorite)
4 oz (1 C) shredded mozzeralla cheese
Heat over to 350. Spray non-stick skillet with non-stick spray. Add sausage, onion and pepper. Cook and stir until browned; drain. Reduce heat to low and add spaghetti sauce. Simmer 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combines cheeses, parley and egg. Mix well.
Spread 1/4 C meat sauce in bottom of 8x4 loaf pan, ungreased. Top with 1 noodle, 1/3 each of ricotta mixture, meat mixture, and mozzerella. Repeat layers, starting with the noodle, ending with the cheese.
Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, until bubbly. Let stand 5-10 minutes befor serving.
Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
