Skillet Ravioli Lasagna With Spicy Italian Sausage Food

SPICY ONE-SKILLET LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch high-sided skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into bite-size pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and browned, about 7 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until translucent and slightly fragrant, another 3 minutes. Add the lemon zest and red pepper flakes and cook for additional 2 minutes to toast. Stir in the broccoli rabe and salt; cook until the rabe is wilted, 2 minutes. Remove the mixture to a medium bowl and return the pan to the stove over low heat.
• Spoon a small amount of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the skillet. Mix the remaining marinara with the sausage mixture in the bowl. Layer half of the lasagna noodles on top of the marinara, breaking them up as needed to fit the pan. Cover with half of the sausage mixture. Add 3/4 cup of the Parmesan and half the mozzarella. Layer with the remaining noodles. Cover with the remaining sausage mixture and top with the rest of the Parmesan and mozzarella and the Gruyere.
• Bake until bubbly and golden on top, about 40 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

SPEEDY SKILLET RAVIOLI LASAGNA

Steps:

• Make the tomato sauce:
• Preheat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the center. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until it darkens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, crushed tomatoes, basil sprigs, sugar, and 1 cup water. Season with the salt and black pepper and increase the heat slightly to bring to a boil.
• Cook the ravioli:
• Gently separate any frozen ravioli stuck together without tearing. Any that resist will separate during cooking. Add the ravioli to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sauce is very thick and the ravioli are just tender, about 15 minutes.
• Assemble the ravioli lasagna:
• Spoon half of the ravioli and sauce into a bowl. Arrange the ravioli in the skillet in an even layer and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Arrange the remaining ravioli on top and sprinkle with the Parmesan and remaining mozzarella.
• Bake the ravioli lasagna:
• Bake until bubbling and the cheese is lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Scatter the basil leaves on top and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

RAVIOLI AND SAUSAGE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees; you'll need a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Add sausages and cook, breaking up chunks with a spoon, 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
• Remove from heat; stir in roasted red peppers and basil.
• Spread 1 cup pasta sauce in baking dish.
• Top with a layer of 12 ravioli, the sausage mixture, then the mozzarella cheese.
• Top with 1 cup sauce, remaining ravioli and remaining sauce.
• Cover with nonstick foil.
• Bake on a sheet of foil (to catch any drips) 1 hour or until ravioli are tender when pierced.
• Uncover, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake 5 minutes until cheese is barely golden.
• Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

SPICY SAUSAGE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-by 13-inch baking dish.
• Melt the butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil while stirring. Add the garlic, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook, whisking occasionally until thick, about 20 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and lay out on a cutting board so they don't stick to each other.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is dry. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
• Toss the mozzarella and Parmesan together in a small bowl. Remove the garlic from the cream sauce. Cover the bottom of the prepared dish with 3 noodles. Top with 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture, 3/4 cup marinara, 1/2 cup cream sauce and 1/3 of the sausage mixture. Repeat the layers until all the noodles have been used. Top the final sausage layer with the remaining cream sauce, marinara and cheese, making sure the edges of the noodles are covered. Bake until bubbly, about 45 minutes. Let lasagna stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with more basil if using.
