I do not have my recipe here with me, I have been making it for 20+ years so I will try to recite it out.
1 lb sausage (mild to hot breakfast sausage works fine)
chopped up onion to taste
1 can 12 oz tomato paste
1 can 15 oz stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
spices I just start pouring them in:
basil, oregano, parsley flakes, garlic, salt and pepper
note: minced garlic you find in the produce section totally rocks....
Simmer sauce for 25 minutes
large tub of ricotta (don't use cottage cheese, what ever you do...it is horrendous)
16oz pkg mozzeralla
I use 12 pcs of lasagna noodles
start with a layer of sauce on the bottom of pan, then noodles, sauce, ricotta, mozzarella....repeat
Cook at 350 for 20 minutes
It is very simple and very delicious, the sausage and spices give it a lot of good flavor and the ricotta..mmmmmm The mushrooms in the 1st recipe sound good also, I need to try that next time.
