• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 12 ounces hot Italian sausages, removed from casings and crumbled
• 2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
• 1 bunch kale, thick stems removed
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• salt and pepper
• 8 ounces lasagna noodles, each broken crosswise into 4 to 6 pieces (about 9 noodles)
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (could also use cherry tomatoes)
• 3 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 5-quart pot, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in onions; cover, and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Add kale and 1/2 cup water to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain; coarsely chop. Transfer to bowl with onions.
3. Meanwhile, cook noodles 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain; rinse under cold water.
4. Add noodles, tomatoes, and ricotta to the bowl; season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; smooth top with a spatula. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

This is another Martha Stewart recipe that I was a bit disappointed in. For the amount of prep time this took (about 30 minutes) it wasn't really worth it. I thought it tasted fine but too much work for just ok results. My husband really enjoyed it though!
