• Yields: 1 2 qt pan

ingredients

• 12 12 ounces pork sausage or 12 ounces ground beef
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 8 ounces tomato sauce

• 1 egg

directions

1. Sauce: Cook the sausage, onion, and garlic until meat is brown. Drain the fat.
2. Stir in the next 5 ingredients; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Cook noodles in boiling water 10-12 minutes until tender but firm. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. Noodles you don't have to boil should work well too.
4. Filling: Mix the egg, ricotta and Parmesan cheeses together. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
5. Spread 1/4 of the meat sauce on bottom of 2 quart rectangular baking dish. Layer 3 noodles, 1/2 filling, 1/4 of the sauce, and mozzerella cheese. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you want.
6. Place the dish on a baking pan to catch any spills. Bake 30-35 minutes until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
