• timp total: 1 hour

Ingrediente

• 2 tbsp. olive oil

• 1 Ib. bulk Italian sausage

• ¼ cup grated carrot

• ½ cup diced onion

• 1 red pepper, diced

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• ¾ tsp. kosher salt

• ¼ tsp. fresh black pepper

• 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes

Instrucțiuni

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Heat the oil over medium heat in a shallow round enameled cast iron Dutch oven, add the sausage and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until nicely browned. Spoon off all but 2 tbsp. fat, then add the carrot, onion, pepper and garlic and cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.

3. Add tomatoes and chicken stock, bring to a simmer and stir to combine well. Remove from heat, then stir in ricotta and arugula leaves. Layer and submerge the lasagna noodle pieces into the sauce, pressing down on each layer and gently stirring to make sure they are covered.

4. Cover the top with grated cheese and bake uncovered for 15 minutes until cheese is bubbling and browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
