Lasagna!

I had some friends over the other night for dinner and made some lasagna, because it's stupid easy and feeds a lot of people. This recipe makes enough for about 10-12 servings. I'm only posting it here since Facebook wouldn't let me send the person who wanted it a message. Evil.

1lb lasagna noodles cooked
1 large container ricotta
1 egg
1 tabls oregano (dried)
1 tabls basil (dried)
1 tabls parsley (dried)
1 teas garlic powder
2 cans of crushed tomato's (large cans)
1-2 bags mozz cheese
1-2 bags shredded parm
1 roll of sage sausage
1-2 teas sugar
1-2 teas salt
Lots of pepper


Brown sausage in a large saucepan and drain. Add crushed tomato's, salt, pepper, 1/2 of all the dried spices, all the garlic powder,and sugar to the mix. Allow to simmer 25-30 minutes. (you could skip this step and just buy a jar of spaghetti sauce) Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. I usually find I need a tad more dried spice and more salt. I don't measure anything so it's hard to me to try to put it down.

Mix the other half of the spices, salt and pepper to taste, egg, and ricotta cheese together. Put one layer of noodles in a greased pan and top with 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Top with more noodles and then top those noodles with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle parm and mozz cheese over the top (about a third). Keep layering till you run out and then top with remaining cheese and bake at 375 for about 35-45 minutes.
