Easiest Sausage Lasagna

Everybody loves lasagna but truth be told it is a bit of a faff even if that faffing is invariably worth it in the end. But this recipe for the Easiest Sausage Lasagna eliminates most of the faff and the end result is as good as the original. Bonus is that you could even sneak some extra veggies in there without the kids noticing.

All you need is some sausages, it could be beef or pork or even breakfast bangers, fresh lasagna sheets, a jar of pasta sauce and 2 – 3 cups of cheese sauce. You could make the cheese sauce or simplify your life and buy it when you get the sausages. It really is the Easiest Sausage Lasagna as the sausages do most of the work for you. It cuts down a lot of time as they are already seasoned, so it is worth getting the best quality sausage that you can afford. Make it deliciously vegetarian by using your favourite plant based sausages. 

Cut the sausages into small chunks and fry them in an oven proof dish, at least 10cm deep. Add some chopped tomatoes and onions and keep frying. Depending on the pasta sauce you use, you can add some flavourings such as dried chilli flakes or herbs like oregano and basil. Once the frying is done, add the pasta sauce and some green leaves such as spinach or kale to increase the nutrient value of the meal. Take the fresh lasagna sheets and cut them into ribbons of approx 3 cm wide, then curl the ribbons into the sauce. Spoon the cheese sauce over and into the pasta curls and sprinkle with grated cheese. Then bake for 30 mins at 200 degrees C until bubbly and golden with a few charred spots on the edges. Delicious!
