Easy Lasagne

My family does not like Ricotta cheese, so I substitute fresh mozzarella.  If you buy the Italian sausage as links, you need about 1 link.  Use just enough sausage to add some flavor.

1/4 lb Italian sausage
1/2 lb fresh mozzarella
1 bunch parsley, snipped (about 4 T)
9 oz box no boil lasagne (DO NOT boil)
8 oz grated mozzarella
48 oz marinara sauce (2 jars)

Crumble, brown and drain sausage.  Smash fresh mozzarella with a fork.  Mix with electric beaters until smooth, adding 1 - 2 Tablespoons of water to get desired consistency.  It should be smooth and spreadable.  Add the parsley and mix well.  Spread the fresh mozzarella mixture evenly over 8 sheets of lasagne.

Preheat oven to 375.  Spray 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Layer the ingredients:

  1.   1/2 jar sauce
  2.   4 sheets lasagne (with mozzarella mixture)
  3.   1/2 of the sausage
  4.   1 C grated mozzarella
  5.   1/2 jar sauce
  6.   4 sheets lasagne
  7.   1 C grated mozzarella
  8.   4 sheets lasagne (with mozzarella mixture)
  9.   remaining sausage
  10.   1/2 jar sauce
  11.   4 sheets lasagne
  12.   remaining 1/2 jar sauce
  13.   remaining grated mozzarella

Cover with foil and bake 50-60 minutes.  Uncover an continue cooking until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.  Let stand 20 minutes before serving.
