Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Chop 4 Field Roast Italian Sausage links into small pieces, then sauté on low heat in oil for 3 minutes until sausage starts to become slightly golden but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and add 1½ jars of Trader Joe’s Tomato Basil Marinara Sauce, set aside.

In a medium sized bowl whisk together egg, ricotta, salt, and parsley.

To assemble:

In a 9×13 inch baking dish, arrange dry noodles lengthwise on bottom of dish. Spread with a thin layer of sausage sauce mix, add another layer of dry noodles. Evenly spread one half of the ricotta cheese mixture over noodles, add another layer of dry noodles. Spread another layer of sausage sauce mix, top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, add another layer of dry noodles. Evenly spread remaining ricotta cheese mixture over noodles, add more noodles and sausage sauce, and another layer of noodles, add a thin layer of sausage sauce again and top with mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Cover with foil: to prevent sticking make sure the foil does not touch the cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
