Let’s Make Pizzagna!
Step 1: The Savory Filling
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook until tender, then drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Layer Up!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer with 3 noodles, the sausage mixture, ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Repeat layers, ending with cheese on top.
Step 3: Bake to Perfection!
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
