Ingredients

15 oz Ricotta cheese

2 1/2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated (~1 1/4 cups), divided, not from a can

1/2 cup minced fresh basil or 2 tsp of dried Italian seasoning

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

6 cups Tomato sauce (home made is best, but I use canned for convenience)

1 lb Italian sausage, crumbled and browned

12 no-boil lasagna noodles (~ 1 9oz package)

1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese, ~ 4 cups

Directions

Preheat oven to 375oF.

In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, egg, basil or Italian seasoning, and 1 cup of Parmesan.

Put 1/4 cup of tomato sauce into the bottom of 9x13" pan. Place 3 of the noodles side by side on the sauce (there will be some gaps between noodles, side by side the short direction of the pan). Place 3 tbsp of ricotta mixture on each noodle and spread evenly. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of sauce over cheese, and add 1/3 of Italian sausage, spreading slightly to even out layer. Repeat layering 2 more times.

After the final layer of sauce, layer 3 more noodles, top with remaining sauce (~1 1/4 cup), and 1 cup of mozzarella and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan.

Spray a large sheet of aluminum foil lightly with non-stick spray. Cover the pan of lasagna with foil. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes.

Remove foil and bake an additional 25 minutes, or until cheese is browned and sauce is bubbling. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Variations:

Add roasted or sauteed mushrooms to tomato sauce or brown 1 lb of hamburger or 8 oz ground pork and 8 oz ground beef, add sauce to pan and simmer ~5 minutes.
