Lasagna

It has been so long since I updated my blog (might have something to do with the fact that I haven't cooked in weeks-no joke). My husband and I went on a great vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and I haven't felt up to cooking since we returned. Somehow I managed to get sick, but my husband was fine (I must not have drank enough beer!).

I am working evenings this week and on call, so I wanted to have something that my husband could heat up and eat before I got home. A nice big tray of lasagna fit perfectly. I used a recipe on the back of the Barilla no boil noodles.

1 9 oz package no boil Barilla lasagna noodles

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (only used 3 cups)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (used Pecorino Romano)

1 lb Italian sausage

2 jars spaghetti sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.

In medium bowl mix eggs, ricotta, Romano, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
