Lasagna

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook the onion over medium heat. Add the sausage and brown, breaking up into small chunks (or slice with a knife beforehand) as you cook. (If the sausage is inside a casing remove it first if you prefer crumbles to slices.) Add the garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add the tomatoes, paste, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer on medium low for 15-20 minutes.

Dampen the no-boil noodles in hot water, or boil if needed. In a separate bowl combine ricotta, goat cheese, 1 cup of parm, the egg and a little salt and pepper and stir.

In a baking dish make messy, quick layers (It all melts together into delicious cheesiness anyway) beginning with sauce then noodles, ricotta mixture, sauce and mozzarella slices. I try to get at least 2 layers but doesn’t always happen. Sprinkle with parm and bake for 30 minutes.

Now, this is the important part: invite your mother to dinner!
