Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound Italian sausage (or ground beef)
- 24 ounces (680 grams) spaghetti sauce
- 2 cups (226 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
Cheese Components:
- 1 cup (226 grams) ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) shredded Parmesan cheese
Baking Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) refrigerated Pillsbury Grands Jr. Biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Slice refrigerated biscuits into eight equal wedges.
- Create a creamy base by blending ricotta, Parmesan, and one cup of spaghetti sauce in a mixing bowl.
- Gently fold the biscuit pieces into the cheese mixture until thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the biscuit-cheese blend into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- In a skillet, brown Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles until fully cooked.
- Drain excess fat from the sausage and return to the pan.
- Pour remaining spaghetti sauce into the sausage, stirring to combine thoroughly.
- Distribute the sausage and sauce mixture uniformly over the biscuit layer.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese across the top, adding dried parsley for optional garnish.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, ensuring biscuits are golden and cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Swap sausage with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter, healthier version that’s lower in fat and calories.
- Cut biscuits smaller for more even cooking and better texture distribution throughout the dish, ensuring each bite has a perfect blend of ingredients.
- Let the lasagna rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make cutting and serving easier without falling apart.
- Use low-fat ricotta and mozzarella cheeses to reduce overall calorie content while maintaining a creamy, satisfying texture.
