CHEESY SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM LASAGNA
The sauce is really what makes this lasagna! For the very best results make the sauce at least a day ahead and refrigerate to blend flavors or even up to 4 days in advance the longer you leave it refrigerated the better your sauce will be, you might have a small amount of sauce left over, you can freeze it if desired, once you have made the sauce the rest is easy to put together! Make the sauce on a day when you have some time, it needs to simmer for about 3 hours over low heat. This recipe requires a lot of mozzarella cheese, so purchase a large brick of it, I always use more than the 3 cups! Also to save some time you can boil your lasagna noodles up to a day in advance, run them under cold water, dry with paper towels and then brush both sides with vegetable oil to prevent the noodles from sticking, then stack them on a baking sheet then cover with plastic wrap to use the following day. You can use 2 cups canned sliced mushrooms in place of the fresh, but the fresh is better! Don't omit the wine in the sauce and please do not use the no-boil lasagna noodles for this! The exact measurements does not matter with this recipe, use as much cheese as you wish, but please don't be "stingy" with the sauce when layering the lasagna the more sauce you use the better it will be, so use lots!

Steps:
- NOTE* it is important not to overcook your lasagna noodles as they will cook more in the sauce, just boil until they are flexible in the pot, do not cook until they are very soft.
- For the sauce; in a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat; add in the sausage with the chopped onions, chili pepper flakes, oregano and basil, cook stirring and breaking up the sausage meat with a spoon until the sausage meat is browned, this should take about 10 minutes (add in the garlic the last 2 minutes of cooking) drain fat.

- Uncover and simmer for another 2 hours (uncovered).
- Season with more salt and pepper and add in sugar if needed to reduce the acidic tomato taste.
- Cool and refrigerate 24 hours or up to 4 days (or you can use it right away for the lasagna, this sauce is better if cooled and refrigerated to use the following day).

- Grease a lasagna baking dish (one with high sides).
- Set oven to 350°F.
- Spread enough sauce into bottom of the pan to cover generously.
- Separate the ricotta cheese filling into three even amounts.
- Arrange 3 cooked noodles into bottom of the baking dish over the sauce, then drop about one-third of the cheese filling over the noodles, spread out evenly with a spoon (the mixture does not have to completely cover).
- Sprinkle with about 1 cup mozzarella cheese and then 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, one-third ricotta cheese filling, mozzarella cheese, then Parmesan cheese 2 more times.
- Top with remaining 3 noodles, then spoon a generous amount of sauce over noodles (you might have some sauce leftover!).
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese (you can use more if desired) then sprinkle the top with about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Generously spray a large piece of foil.
- Cover the baking dish loosely with the foil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium pot heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juices, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, 20 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon as they soften. Reserve 2/3 cup of the sauce for assembling the lasagna and set the rest aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sausage and continue to cook, breaking the sausage up with a spoon, until the sausage is browned and cooked through, another 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine.
- Thinly slice about a quarter of the mozzarella and set aside; grate the rest on a box grater. Combine the grated cheese with the ricotta and the egg. Spread the reserved 2/3 cup tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with 1 pasta sheet, a third of the ricotta mixture and a third of the meat sauce. Repeat with the remaining pasta, ricotta and meat sauce. Cover with foil and bake until the sauce is bubbling around the edges and the pasta is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the sliced mozzarella and continue to bake until the cheese is melted, 15 minutes more. Let stand for 20 minutes and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving with a green salad and some garlic bread.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in frying pan and tip in the sausagemeat. Use a fork and wooden spoon to break up the meat as it cooks (it should look like mince). When browned and slightly crisp, add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Fry for 4-5 mins until the mushrooms are soft and golden.
- Cook the lasagne sheets following pack instructions, then drain. Stir the tomato paste, cherry tomatoes and 2 tbsp water into the sausage mixture. Cover and simmer for 6 mins. Remove the lid and crush the tomatoes with the back of your spoon, so that they break up a little. Bubble for a few mins and add seasoning.
- Put the crème fraîche, mustard, most of the cheddar and a little seasoning in a pan and melt together over a low heat.
- Heat the grill to high. Lay 1 sheet of lasagne in the bottom of a serving dish, letting it fold over on itself in places. Top with some of the sausage mixture and another lasagne sheet. Repeat the process, finishing with a layer of sausage mixture. Pour over the cheese sauce, and sprinkle with then remaining cheese, then grill until the top is bubbling.
- To make accompanying garlic bread: Heat oven to 200C/220C fan/gas 6. Cut 4-5 slices in 1 small bread roll (petit pain), making sure not to cut all the way through. Spread garlic butter in each gap. Wrap the roll in foil and bake for 8 mins. Unwrap the roll and bake for a further 5-6 mins.
