9 lasagna noodles (250g)
1 lb (450g) Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15oz/425g) tomato sauce
1 can (14.5oz/411g) diced tomatoes
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 egg
1 container (15oz/425g) ricotta cheese
2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, cook Italian sausage over medium-high heat until browned. Add onion and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.

Layer 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, another 1/3 of the sausage mixture, and 1/2 of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining ingredients, ending with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
