Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground Italian sausage
  • 26.5 oz. can of meat flavored tomato sauce

  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, or 2 tsp dried
  • 9 uncooked lasagna noodle planks
  • salt & pepper to taste
Directions Cook and crumble meat over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease. Add the can of tomato sauce and ½ cup of water, simmer on low for 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°. In a 13"x9" baking dish spread 1 heaping cup of meat sauce along bottom. Place three lasagna planks on top. Add another heaping cup of meat sauce then top with cheese and half the parsley. Place three more planks on top of cheese, cover with remaining meat sauce, cheese and parsley.
