Ingredients
- 18 no-boil lasagna sheets (regular or whole wheat)
- 2 pounds mild Italian sausage
- 24 ounces ricotta cheese
- 16 ounces Italian cheese blend, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 48 ounces pasta sauce
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Cook and crumble the sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain; add the pasta sauce to the pan.
- Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray. Put a thin layer of the Italian sausage sauce in the bottom of the dish.
- Set aside two cups of the Italian cheese blend. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, remaining Italian cheese blend, eggs, Italian seasoning, nutmeg, and pepper; mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lay 9 lasagna sheets down over the layer of sauce in the baking pan, overlapping as needed. Spread an even layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then spread an even layer of the sauce. Repeat the noodles, cheese mixture, and sauce twice more.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Uncover and top with the remaining cheese. Place back in the oven and cook for 5-10 minutes more, until the cheese is melted and the noodles are cook through. Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
