INGREDIENTS
- 10 oz rigatoni
For the sauce:
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 24 oz pasta sauce
For the ricotta mixture:
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 cup ricotta
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and set it aside.
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set the pasta aside.
For the sauce:
- Brown the sausage in a 4-quart saucepan, breaking it into small pieces. Once browned, add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Cook until the onion is softened, 4-6 minutes.
- Add the jarred pasta sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
For the ricotta:
- In a bowl, combine the whisked eggs, ricotta, salt, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Mix together until combined.
- Add the prepared meat sauce to the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Pour the pasta into the prepared baking dish. Distribute the ricotta mixture evenly into 6 mounds in the pasta. Roughly stir a bit of the ricotta mixture into the casserole and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated 350°F oven until the pasta is bubbling and the cheese is melted, 35-45 minutes.

From my farm to your home. 🏡
My name is Kaleb Wyse and here, you will find delicious recipes, videos from my farm, garden, and fun home projects. My knowledge has been earned from years of home cooks and farmers in my family. wyseguide.com
A farm is much more than a house to live in; it’s a lifestyle. My passion for gardening and landscaping came from outdoor work with my mom in our expansive farm yard, my love for baking came from innumerable short walks to my grandma’s house to make cookies, and as a farmer, my dad taught me that we are the stewards of our land.
So whether you live in a city center or have decided rural life is for you, I hope to inspire you with the projects and recipes I use in daily life. We can’t all live on a farm, but we all need farms in our lives. From the dirt in my vegetable garden to the flour in my kitchen, I’ll show you everything I love to do.

I'm a caregiver to a loved one who has difficulty with certain dishes. This is a great alternative to the "traditional" lasagna recipe. Also, thank you for saying these dishes and recipes are what you make of them. I've always felt that recipes are guidelines to making a dish your own! ❤

[@TracieL1234]

Tuna noodle casserole…old school but yummy

[@debbiecharles2443]

Easiest lasagna. Perfect method I’ve seen. Making tonight.

[@LitlPoot]

Words of wisdom from a Wyse guy: It's rustic and that's perfection; It's ugly, it's okay - we're gonna cover it with cheese; and Everyone remembers the good food !!!!! thanks for the recipes, helpful hints, encouragement, and delicious inspiration ... well done !!!

[@deeellen6897]

Yummy and EASY! Thank you! I absolutely love all your recipes. I’m a senior and find your recipes so easy.

[@kristinbray6453]

Looks delicious Kaleb!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us. I was diagnosed with metastatic cancer and watching your vlogs fills my heart with joy and happiness. Send blessings to you and your beautiful family and Kip.

[@kellymendez9035]

Tater tot casserole is my favorite childhood casserole! This take on easy lasagna casserole looks great! Will have to try it!

[@buddhahoo1]

"Don't worry about it we're gonna put cheese over the whole thing".. luv luv it

[@donnasalerno9870]

I'm gonna make this tonite! I think I will still use lasagna noodles, just breaking them up into pieces. I have all ingredients on hand-it was a meant to be dinner! Thanks, Kaleb!❤

[@brendak3357]

That looks delicious. My dad goes to a seniors potluck once a month. I always want to send a nice dish with him, but I love easy too. This is what he's taking next time. Thank you!

[@lulu6618]

Bless you for using ricotta! Btw can you show your kitchen ware in depth some time? Thank you

[@dmaextraordinaire8205]

*You are so user friendly! Thank you for all of your inspiring videos. They are appreciated.

[@debbiepeloso6012]

Another idea my husband came up with. Take jumbo cheese filled ravioli, boil and drain. Use them to put in rows instead of lasagna noodles layered with meat and mozzarella and no need to make a ricotta filling because it's already in the ravioli.

[@Faulty-vy4dr]

Green Bean Casserole, Tator Tot Casserole. Those two are my favorite.

[@Lalec122]

This was the easiest! I made it with all canned pantry itens except the ziti... It is scrumptious ✌🏼

I've made deconstructed stuffed cabbage roll casserole with bagged coleslaw mix. The list goes on and on. Thanks for sharing! Love your vids!

[@ejmedina7065]

Yummy!!

[@susieramick7202]

Your videos are wonderful 😊 Yum! We love lasagna and your casserole looks delicious. I'll try the sausage cuz I love it but usually have to use turkey Italian sausage for health reasons.

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Looks so yummy! I will make this recipe. Lasagna is a favorite of mine! So a quick and easy casserole I can whip up for the comfort food feel laborsome lasagna gives to me, will be a great addition to my meal plan! We used cottage cheese too! 😊❤

[@sarab1952]

I loved what you did. I am going to make it soon. I usually make the other lasagna. This looks so delicious and easier to make❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

We’d call this baked rigatoni, but no matter what it’s called, it’s delicious 😋

[@kw4325]

Chicken rice bake with a side of sliced tomatoes! But I'm making your lasagna casserole this weekend😁

[@EEN63]

We love a casserole in our family! My favorite is my “foo-foo tuna casserole”. I call it foo-foo because I use all the traditional ingredients in your basic tuna casserole but add white wine, diced water chestnuts, red pepper flakes and garlic, to “foof” it up and it is sooo comforting and deeeelicious! We also do something similar to this lasagna casserole with our random pasta with meat sauce leftovers. After dinner we make a cottage cheese, egg and grated cheese mixture and layer it in the middle of the leftover combined pasta and meat sauce in a tall CorningWare pot. Then all we have to do is heat it up for a “whole new and different” meal in a day or so. Easy-peasy and just enough difference to feel like it’s not “leftovers” for some... who shall remain nameless. Although, personally, I don’t think you can beat a good leftover dinner! It’s always better after the flavors have had time to mingle and get to know each other! 😉😂🙃 Yummmm! 😋🥰😋

[@user-ly9lk6nx2o]

Many years ago, a relative would bring a dish to family gatherings and I would give anything to go back in time and get her recipe! It was a corned beef casserole... egg noodles, probably canned (?) corned beef, breadcrumbs, lots of cheese... Healthy? No. Comfort food? YES! I have tried a couple recipes I found online but nothing seems right....

[@bfranklin1052]

Perfect casserole, Kaleb! Yum! Tender big noodles, crispy edges, yummy cheese. Gimme!

[@cindyalam7490]

Chicken Divan Casserole! Pieces of white meat chicken with broccoli in a creamy, cheesy, white sauce, is one of my favorites!!

[@phillipsmom6252]

Yummy 😋

[@DH-qz2so]

Chicken Noodle Fettuccini Casserole from the "Best of Bridge" Cookbook is a family favorite!

[@caroleeeey]

I’m hungry!!!

[@loriolexo635]

I just made lasagna. In made my own noodles. But I'll sure make this version.

[@LisaMartinez-ri6ve]

Love home made lasagna noodles

[@monicamacauley3553]

Our fav casserole is Shepherd’s Pie but I use ground beef instead of lamb so it’s really Cottage Pie.

[@derekmorrison4191]

Yum🤤

[@urbinae99]

I make something very similar to this, we call it a "Pizza-asagna"

[@janetsanders9253]

Kaleb I dice my onions same way. That’s how we make baked Ziti

[@BonnieHaley]

That one's going to be😊😊❤❤❤

[@debbiepeloso6012]

Great idea but what would you think of using broken up lasagna noodles next time?

[@donnalipka74]

I like a Shepard pie made with beef!

[@m.martinez167]

Yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!!!😊

[@bethshelley561]

Taco casserole. I plan on trying yours soon.

[@joyinthewind1]

You can scour your pans by salting before the food is in the pan. I ruined a pan doing this but for your pan, it's probably ok.

[@auberthere3737]

I love lasagna casserole that I make in the crock pot. I don't think I'll ever make traditional lasagna ever again

[@DeeDeeBirch]

👍❤️😎

[@BonnieHaley]

Hello 👋 ❤❤❤💯

When you discuss preparing food, you refer to the parts as INGREDIENTS, not COMPONENTS or ELEMENTS. It is not a science experiment.🙄
