Three Cheese Sausage Lasagna

I think that this was the fastest version of lasagna that I have ever made in my life and it was pretty tasty too! Not too hard to throw together, especially when I was running a little late from going and seeing the adorable lab puppies that my sister's dog just had couple of nights ago!! We were still eating by our normal 6:00 and that was with no prepping beforehand like I usually do!

1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Heat oven to 375. In 10" skillet, crumble sausage. Cook over medium high heat about 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink; drain well.
