Ingredients | Baked Italian Pasta Recipes

  • 12 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • ⅔ cup chopped onions
  • ½ tablespoon minced garlic
  • ⅔ cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 3 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil leaves
  • 1 pound part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 (10 ounce) package chopped spinach, thawed and squeeze dried
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • In skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage with the onions, garlic and 1/2 the parsley; drain excess fat. Add tomato paste, tomato sauce, water, Italian seasoning, oregano, and basil; mix well. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes; stirring occasionally.
  • In a bowl, combine remaining parsley and ricotta, spinach, Parmesan, eggs, garlic salt, and pepper; mix well.
  • Spread 2 cups sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Begin layering with 4 noodles, 1/2 cheese mix, 1/3 remaining sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat this layer again; the last layer will be noodles, sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil; bake, uncovered, an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
