Simple Sausage Lasagna
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing
YIELD: 12 servings.
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.
