LASAGNE - BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S RECIPE RECIPE - (3.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add sausage and cook over medium-low heat, breaking it up with a fork, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, basil, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat, for 15 to 20 minutes, until thickened. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with the hottest tap water. Add the noodles and allow them to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain. Cook the spinach and then drain thoroughly and squeeze out all moisture with towels. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, goat cheese, spinach, 1 cup of Parmesan, the egg, the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside. Ladle a little of the sauce into a 9 by 12 rectangular baking dish, spreading the sauce over the bottom of the dish. Then add 3 layers as follows: pasta, mozzarella, ricotta, and sauce. Finish with sauce. (You might not use all of the noodles) Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until the top is bubbling. Let stand about 5-10 minutes before serving.
