Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. NOTE* it is important not to overcook your lasagna noodles as they will cook more in the sauce, just boil until they are flexible in the pot, do not cook until they are very soft.
  2. For the sauce; in a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat; add in the sausage with the chopped onions, chili pepper flakes, oregano and basil, cook stirring and breaking up the sausage meat with a spoon until the sausage meat is browned, this should take about 10 minutes (add in the garlic the last 2 minutes of cooking) drain fat.
  3. Add in the tomato paste; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
  4. Add in the wine and cook 2 minutes.
  5. Add in all the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil stirring with wooden spoon.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 1 hour.
  7. Uncover and simmer for another 2 hours (uncovered).
  8. Season with more salt and pepper and add in sugar if needed to reduce the acidic tomato taste.
  9. Cool and refrigerate 24 hours or up to 4 days (or you can use it right away for the lasagna, this sauce is better if cooled and refrigerated to use the following day).
  10. In a large bowl using a wooden spoon, mix together all the filling ingredients until well blended.
  11. Grease a lasagna baking dish (one with high sides).
  12. Set oven to 350°F.
  13. Spread enough sauce into bottom of the pan to cover generously.
  14. Separate the ricotta cheese filling into three even amounts.
  15. Arrange 3 cooked noodles into bottom of the baking dish over the sauce, then drop about one-third of the cheese filling over the noodles, spread out evenly with a spoon (the mixture does not have to completely cover).
  16. Sprinkle with about 1 cup mozzarella cheese and then 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  17. Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, one-third ricotta cheese filling, mozzarella cheese, then Parmesan cheese 2 more times.
  18. Top with remaining 3 noodles, then spoon a generous amount of sauce over noodles (you might have some sauce leftover!).
  19. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese (you can use more if desired) then sprinkle the top with about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
  20. Generously spray a large piece of foil.
  21. Cover the baking dish loosely with the foil.
  22. Bake for about 45 minutes.
  23. Carefully uncover and bake for another 15 minutes (cook until the sauce is bubbly and a fork inserted in the middle of the lasagna comes out very hot).
  24. Let stand about 30 minutes (or more) before slicing.
