Instructions

  • Step 1

    Heat oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a 12-inch still over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and onion, cook until the sausage is well browned, stirring often to separate meat and break into smaller pieces. Pour off any fat. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the sauce and milk.

  • Step 2

    Mix the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg and ground sage in a bowl.

  • Step 3

    Spread a heaping 1/4 cup sauce/sausage mixture in the bottom of an 11x8x2-inch baking dish. Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 cup ricotta mixture, a heaping 1/2 cup of the sauce/sausage mixture, and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat two times (you'll have three layers). Layer with the remaining noodles, ricotta mixture and sauce/sausage mixture. Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 40 minutes. 

  • Step 4

    Uncover the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for another 10 minutes or until hot and bubbling. Let stand for 10–15 minutes before serving.
