What You'll Need
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 (28-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce, divided
- 12 lasagna noodles, prepared according to package directions
- 4 cup (16 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until no pink remains, stirring to break up sausage as it cooks. Drain off excess liquid and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta and Parmesan cheeses, the egg, Italian seasoning, garlic, and pepper.
- Spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce over bottom of prepared baking dish. Place 3 noodles over sauce. Spoon 1/3 of cheese mixture over noodles, sprinkle with 1/3 of the sausage, and 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Pour 1 cup spaghetti sauce over mozzarella cheese. Place 3 more noodles over the top and press down lightly. Repeat with 2 more layers of cheese mixture, sausage, mozzarella cheese, and noodles. Spoon remaining sauce over top and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake 1 hour, or until heated through. Remove foil and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese; return to oven 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove from oven and let sit 10 to 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
