When I saw a lasagna recipe that did not call for precooking the noodles, I was anxious to try this time-saving shortcut. Making some changes and additions to suit my taste, I developed this popular dish that I now call my own.

Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce

Delicious. Used mild Italian turkey sausage, 2 cups of cottage cheese and 1 cup of ricotta. Easy, and really wonderful flavor.

Great recipe, and it's so much less hassle and mess not having to pre-boil the noodles. I've been using this method for years, and it works EVERY time. Anybody who says otherwise must not be following the baking instructions....or something.

Very good and easy to make. I add chopped onions and peppers when cooking the sausage in the first step.

This is our favorite lasagna recipe and so easy to make. Only 20 minutes and it's in the oven. We absolutely love it. Sent it to my family and they love it as well. Thanks so much for sharing it!

I love this recipe. It turns out every time.

This one is an all-time classic in our family. Have made it at least 10-20x. I substitute mozzarella for the Parm (not a big Parm fan), use the chive cottage cheese but that's just to get a little more bang from the cottage cheese, and I use bulk Italian Sausage rather than the pork sausage. Even though I make those changes, the ratios of everything and the flavors are just right and this turns out perfect every single time. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It's on Page One of my All-Time Favorites cookbook and will never make a different Lasagna recipe again!

This lasagna is a favorite with my family, friends, and coworkers. By far the simplest lasagna to make EVER!!!!! :)

I was a little skeptical at first since I was used to how my mom makes her, with boiled noodles. I also used 1/4 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning instead of the parsley, basil and oregano separately. It was FABULOUS!

The only lasagna my boys will eat

Delicious! I used Bob Evans Italian sausage and ended up using a cup more of mozzarella cheese. Turned out great. My first lasagna ever was a success.

This pork sausage lasagna was absolutely delicious! This recipe definitely deserves more than 5 stars. For the recipe, I used our own home-made pork sausage which was seasoned with minced garlic, minced onion, salt & pepper. I made the recipe as written, and it came out perfect. I look forward to making this lasagna often; especially since we always have seasoned ground pork sausage in our freezer all year round.

We made it with ground beef because our store did not sell the sausage. We prefer our lasagna more saucy, and this lasagna turns out fine, just not very saucy.

Excellent and easy! This also was my first attempt at lasagna, it turned out great. My picky kids loved it.

I have NEVER made a lasagna before and was REALLY skeptical about this but I thought other people have done it with success so I tried it. And I'll be darned it worked and the family loved it.

This is one of my favorite recipes from Taste of Home. I used HOT sausage to spice things up.
