Ingredients
Part of a package of pre cooked lasagna noodles
2 Italian sausages
1/2 lb each of hamburger and pork sausage
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Small ricotta
egg
Shredded mozzarella
Grated parmesan
Spaghetti sauce
Italian herbs of choice
Nutmeg
Olive oil
Start oven at 350°
Mix the hamburger, pork sausage and breadcrumbs, let stand for a bit and form into small walnut sized meatballs cook them and the Italian sausage in a little olive oil till done and set aside. Slice the sausage 1/2 inch crosswise when cool.
Mix the ricotta, egg and nutmeg till blended
Spray the bread pan with Pam olive oil.
cover the bottom of the pan with spaghetti sauce (1/4 cup may do the trick), break noodles to fit and cover the sauce with fitted noodles - they can overlap a bit (alternate direction of the noodles for each layer)
add a layer of the ricotta mix and stud densely with either sausage slices or meatballs
cover with Mozzarella and cover that with another layer of the noodles and a scoop of sauce, ricotta, and whichever meat you didn't use for the first layer. top with Mozza, noodles, sauce
use whatever ricotta you have left to spread thinly across the top layer, then mozza and a good sprinkle of parmesan
spray one side of a sheet of aluminum foil and cover the breadpan oiled side down
Bake (pan on a cookie sheet to avoid mess) in the oven for 20 minutes or so, then uncover for 10 or 15.
let stand for 10 minutes. This is great if you make it completely the day before and heat it / let it stand before serving the next day
Spices - garlic, oregano, basil in the sauce to your taste or a jar of Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce does a good job
