Title: Lazy Lasagna Toss
Categories: Pasta Meat
Yield: 4 Servings
| 12 | oz | Pasta shells or fusilli, cooked |
| 1 | lb | Hot italian sausages |
| 3 | c | Spaghetti sauce, chunky vegetable style |
| 1 | c | Ricotta cheese |

Remove sausages from casings. In large skillet, heat 1 ts vegetable oil over medium-high heat; cook sausage, stirring and breaking up with fork, for 5-6 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Drain off fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce; cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbling.
Meanwhile, in small microwaveable bowl or saucepan, mix ricotta with Parmesan; microwave at High for 45 seconds, or cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, or just until Parmesan begins to melt.
Toss spaghetti sauce with hot pasta; divide among bowls. Spoon ricotta mixture evenly over top. A sprinkle of chopped parsley to garnish. Serve with a crisp Caesar salad.
Variation: use different varieties of spaghetti sauce; a mushroom sauce or one with plenty of herbs would work also
