Easy Lasagna

This is a very simple and easy recipe

1 lb sausage - I use Tennessee Pride
1 jar Ragu Robusto six cheese pasta sauce (or any jar of spaghetti sauce)
1 30 oz container of Ricotta cheese
1 large package of shredded mozzarella cheese (4 cups)
Parmesan cheese
Lasagna noodles

While cooking the pasta brown the sausage. After sausage is done drain grease and return to pan. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.

Take 1/2 cup meat sauce and place in bottom of 9 X 13 pan.

Layer 4 lasagna noodles (overlapping the edges) in the center lengthwise (there should be a gap on each side of pan for cheese expansion)

***
Take 1/3 of the ricotta cheese and spread on noodles.
Take 1/3 of the mozzarella and sprinkle over ricotta cheese.
Take 1/4 meat sauce and sprinkle over cheese.
Place 4 lasagna noodles on top

Repeat *** 2 more times

After you have the last layer of noodles placed, take the remaining 1/4 of the meat sauce and spread over noodles. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil.

Bake 375 for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Remove the foil and cook another 5-10 minutes (or until Parmesan cheese is melted and top is browned).

Remove and let sit 5-10 minutes.
