Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Heat olive oil in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmery. Add Italian sausage and shallot to skillet and break up with a wooden spoon until no longer pink.
Add garlic, tomato paste, oregano, and basil to sausage and cook 1 additional minute until fragrant. Transfer sausage mixture to a bowl and stir in marinara sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, egg, and parsley until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Wipe skillet clean and grease well. Pour 1/3 of meat sauce in bottom of skillet and layer with 1/3 of lasagna noodle pieces, ricotta mixture, and cheeses. Repeat layers 2 more times ending with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover pan with tin foil and bake at 375F 20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking an additional 30-35 minutes until cheese is browned and lasagna is tender. Allow lasagna to set 10 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving warm with fresh basil on top. Enjoy!
