Ingredients

12 to 16 lasagna noodles, cooked as directed

2 jars (26 ounces each) prepared spaghetti sauce of choice

2 pounds mild Italian sausage, cooked (I prefer to use 1 pound Italian sausage and 1 pound ground chuck, but use whatever meat mixture you like)

1 onion, diced

1 tablespoon sugar (if using prepared spaghetti sauce)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (if using prepared spaghetti sauce)

Ricotta filling:

2 pounds ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon garlic salt

a few shakes black or white pepper

Topping:

3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

Directions

Prepare lasagna noodles as directed on package and lay out in a single layer on waxed paper so noodles won’t stick together as they cool.

Cook meat and onion in large pan until almost done – I like to slightly undercook the meat so it doesn’t dry out so much during the baking time.

Reserve 2 cups spaghetti sauce and set aside; pour remaining sauce into the cooked meat/onion mixture and stir to blend. If I’m using a prepared spaghetti sauce rather than homemade, I like to add the additional seasonings of sugar and garlic powder, but this is optional – you do not have to add them, or add your own seasoning blend to personalize your sauce to your tastes.

Prepare the ricotta filling by lightly beating the eggs, then add all other ingredients and stir to blend well.

In the bottom of a lasagna pan (or a 9x13 pan), spread 1 cup of the reserved spaghetti sauce.

Top sauce with a layer of cooked lasagna noodles.

Spread ½ of ricotta cheese filling over noodles.

Top with ½ of the meat sauce.

Repeat layers: noodles, remaining ricotta filling, remaining meat sauce.

End with a final layer of noodles spread with the remaining 1 cup of reserved spaghetti sauce.

Cover with mozzarella cheese, then shaved parmesan cheese.

Bake at 325 degrees for 60 to 75 minutes, until gently browned on top and bubbly.around the edges.

Hey krum. Yummy looking photo. I agree Lasagna is an easy meal and for some reason I do not make it very often either. I will have to start and package some in the freezer for the family to grab on the way to work or quick lunch. Thanks for the recipe. Take care-Rachell

When the kids we used to have were still around my wife made la-ZIG-nee fairly often. A great family meal. We all loved it.
Yours looks just as simple yet a bit more authentic perhaps. Don't tell the wife.

D-E-L-I-S-H!!!!!!!!! Great recipe. The sugar is the key, not alot of people know that, all canned sauce needs doctored up. I make this exactly the same except, I chop up a zucchini, mushrooms and some peppers & garlic, and cook it with the meat mixture, Krum you a wonderful cook!*!*!*! Now I'm on my way to check out Grandma's banana cream pie.....:)
