1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 375ºF. 🔥

2️⃣ Sauté the sausage in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, then remove it 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. 🍳

3️⃣ 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. 🍅

4️⃣ Mix together the ricotta, eggs, and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and set this mixture aside. 🥚🧀

5️⃣ Spoon just enough sauce into a 9″x13″ baking dish to cover the bottom. Then add 4 lasagna noodles (do not boil them) over the top of the sauce, breaking the noodles as needed to fit the baking dish. 🍝

6️⃣ Top the lasagna noodles with 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Then top the ricotta with 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. 🧀

7️⃣ Spoon about 2 cups of sauce over the cheese layer, then add another 4 lasagna noodles. 🥫

8️⃣ Top the lasagna noodles with the remaining 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, followed by another 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. 🧀

9️⃣ Spoon another 2 cups of sauce over the cheese mixture, then top with the remaining 4 lasagna noodles. Top this last layer with the remaining sauce, followed by the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup parmesan. 🍅🧀

🔟 Cover the baking dish with an oven-proof lid, or you can also use aluminum foil. If using foil, try greasing the side that touches the cheese so it doesn’t stick as it bakes. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the rack underneath your lasagna in case of spillover. 🍽️

1️⃣1️⃣ Bake the lasagna covered for 40-45 minutes, or until the lasagna is beginning to bubble and the noodles are mostly tender. Then uncover the lasagna and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is browned on top. ⏳

1️⃣2️⃣ Let the lasagna cool on a wire rack about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or basil sprigs for garnish if desired. Enjoy! 🌿🍽️
