I want to thank everyone who linked up, last week, at the Well. It was a great turn out. I hope you enjoyed that site.
Today I am sharing a lasagna recipe. I posted it a over a year ago. I recently cooked it again, and thought it is worth sharing again. I doubled the recipe, serving one for a large dinner party I was hosting and froze the other until this weekend when my family came to town. I served the lasagna with some corn (for my daughter who requested it), and a large salad topped with Olivia’s Croutons. Yesterday I posted a giveaway for Olivia’s Crouton Company. These croutons are all natural and ALL GOOD! Go HERE for the details and to be entered.
Two lasagnas ready for the oven!
Homemade Lasagna, salad with Olivia's Organic Garlic and Herb croutons.
Homemade Lasagna
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 T. basil
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 medium cans diced Italian -style tomatoes
- 2 (6-oz) cans tomato paste
- 1 (10-oz) pkg. lasagna noodles
- 1/2 c. grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
- 2 T. parsley flakes
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 lb. mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 3 c. Ricotta or cottage cheese ( I have made it with either. The recipe is great which ever you prefer.)
Brown meat slowly in a large skillet; drain. Add garlic, basil, salt, tomatoes, and tomato paste; simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occassionally. Cook noodles in large pot; drain and rinse. Combine Parmesan cheese, parsley, eggs, salt, pepper and ricotta or cottage cheese in separate bowl. In greased 9×13 casserole dish layer noodles, cheese mixture, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 of the meat mixture; repeat layers ending with the meat sauce on top. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting to allow layers to set.
Recipe Notes: You can assemble early; refrigerate. Be sure to allow 15 minutes or so longer in the oven. This can also be assembled and frozen. Cooking time will be longer if not thawed out.
Also, I use oven – ready lasagna noodles. I have never had a problem with the oven-ready noodles.
Do not be intimidated about making your own sauce. It is an easy recipe. You can do it!

Now that the weather is starting to cool down, I am willing to turn my oven on and homemade lasagna is one of my all time favorite meals. I might have to make a big pan this weekend.
Thanks for the carnival.
Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Lisa. You (and your blog) are such a continuous blessing to me. : )
I LOOOOOOVVVVE homemade lasagna! Thanks for sharing your recipe and for hosting this lovely blog hop.
I’ve never used sausage, I bet it’s good that way. Thanks for sharing your recipe and for hosting!

I’ve only used sausage once and LOVED it!! I usually stick with ground turkey though as it’s healthier. Your lasagna looks awesome! Thanks!
I love the idea of using italian sausage in lasagna. And making extra (not much addition effort) and freezing it. Beautiful.
Yum! I love lasagna! I always use half ground beef/turkey and half sausage when I make it or spaghetti…delish!!
Hi Lisa, Thanks for hosting Tempt my tummy tuesdays. My recipe is a great bun stuffed with taco meat and cheese. Easier than it sounds and delicious! Alex@amoderatelife

Your lasagne recipe sounds delicious – especially with the sausage. I have only ever used beef in lasagne before, so I can’t wait to try your recipe! Thanks for hosting!
Hi! I posted your Pacific RIm Chicken from a few weeks ago. YUM!
Thanks for hosting and the great recipe. This week I’m sharing a sausage recipe too. It’s the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy, NYC (where I live), so I’m sharing some photos of the festivities and a recipe for sausage and peppers.
That looks wonderful! And making double was so smart.
Wow. I haven’t made lasagna for a long time. That’s a good reminder. I always make two pans and put one in the freezer for later.
Oooooo, thanks again for the great food post and linky party! I am going to have fun now looking at other’s posts!
Mmmmm…I SO love lasagne..esp as the weather starts to cool! Sounds yummy.
Love 2 things about this recipe: It made 2 to save me time later, and it saved me cooking the noodles! Hallmarks of a keeper.
I love making lasagna! thanks for posting your recipe!
My family loves lasagna, so I am always eager to try new variations of it. Thanks for another yummy recipe!
Here’s a beautiful recipe to use the last of the summer squash and tomatoes!
