Ingredients

• 9-ounce package gluten-free lasagna noodles
• 1 pound ground Italian sausage
• 1 onion, finely diced (2.5 cups)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 56 ounces fire-roasted tomatoes, blended until mostly smooth (2-28 ounce cans)
• 1 tsp sea salt (less if using jarred pasta sauce)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 15 ounces ricotta, full fat
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 5 cups grated mozzarella cheese (1 pound)
• Garnish: 1-2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or sprigs of fresh basil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. Sauté the sausage in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside. Add the diced onion and garlic to the same pan and cook until translucent and just beginning to brown.
3. Add the Italian seasoning, blended fire-roasted tomatoes, and sausage to the pan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
4. Mix together the ricotta, eggs, and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese in a bowl and set this mixture aside.
5. Assemble the lasagna:
   • Spoon just enough sauce into a 9″x13″ baking dish to cover the bottom.
   • Add 4 lasagna noodles (do not boil them) over the top of the sauce, breaking the noodles as needed to fit the baking dish.
   • Top the lasagna noodles with half of the ricotta mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
   • Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese over the ricotta.
   • Spoon about 2 cups of sauce over the cheese layer, then add another 4 lasagna noodles.
   • Repeat with the remaining ricotta mixture, followed by another 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
   • Add another 2 cups of sauce, then top with the remaining 4 lasagna noodles.
   • Finish with the remaining sauce, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup parmesan.
6. Cover the baking dish with an oven-proof lid or aluminum foil (grease the foil if using to prevent sticking). Place a piece of foil on the rack underneath the lasagna in case of spillover.
7. Bake the lasagna covered for 40-45 minutes, or until it starts to bubble and the noodles are mostly tender. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is browned on top.
8. Let the lasagna cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil sprigs if desired. Enjoy!
