Ingredients

• 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them flat on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 6

Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 9

Spread 1/2 cup of the meat sauce onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 10

Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.

Step 11

Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 12

Repeat the layers two more times (noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, mozzarella).

Step 13

Top the final layer with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 14

Cover the dish with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil does not touch the cheese.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 16

Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
