Easy Lasagna Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds sweet Italian sausage (remove the casing if you can't find uncased Italian sausage) 1 box of NO-BOIL lasagna noodles 2 jars (22 to 25 ozs) of your favorite spaghetti sauce 32 oz. ricotta cheese 16 oz. small curd cottage cheese 16 oz. grated mozzarella cheese 3-4 oz. grated parmesan cheese
Pre-heat oven to 350F. In a skillet, brown the sausage. Drain and pat down with paper towel to remove most of the grease. Using a non-stick spray, olive oil, or butter, grease a 13 x 9 x 3 baking dish. Layer the ingredients into the pan like this: 1. Put a small layer of the sauce in the baking dish. Layer in one layer of the noodles (about 1/3 of them). 2. Spread half of the ricotta cheese onto the noodles. 3. Then put in half of the sausage, then half of the remaining sauce. 4. On top of this put half of each of the mozzarella, cottage and parmesan cheeses. 5. Layer on another single layer of noodles. 6. On this layer of noodles, layer on the remaining sausage then HALF of the remaining sauce and then the remaining ricotta and cottage cheese. 7. Now layer on HALF the remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. 8. Layer on another single layer of noodles. 9. Spread the remaining sauce on the top layer of noodles and then the remaining cheeses. Cover with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes. After 50-60 minutes remove from oven and check. It should be bubbling around the edges and a knife inserted directly in the center should come out VERY hot. If not, return to oven for another 5-10 minutes. Remove the foil bake another 5-10 minutes until the top is just starting to brown. Remove from the oven and let it let for 10 minutes or so before cutting. Makes approximately 10 servings.
