Lasagna
Ingredients
2 lbs. fresh ground hot Italian sausage
3 or 4 cloves garlic – minced
1–1/2 cups onion – chopped
1 small red hot pepper – finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried basil – crushed
1 teaspoon dried oregano – crushed
1 tablespoon brown sugar
A pinch of dried Thyme – crushed
1 28 oz can Roma tomatoes (Progresso with/basil)
2 6 oz cans tomato paste
10 lasagna noodles
4 cups fresh Ricotta cheese
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan or Romano cheese
2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
3 eggs – beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
24 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation
In a large nonstick fry pan cook the Italian sausage, onion, garlic and red pepper over medium heat until the meat is browned. Spoon off excess fat. Add the seasonings (basil, salt, oregano, thyme, brown sugar), the tomato paste and cut up Roma tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. In the meantime, cook the lasagna noodles in a large amount of boiling salted water until tender. Drain and rinse noodles. Combine the Ricotta and Romano cheeses, eggs, salt and pepper, and dried parsley flakes in a large bowl; mix thoroughly. Place half of the noodles on the bottom of a 13x9x2–inch baking dish. Spread with half of the cheese filling, then add half the meat sauce, top it with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat for the second layer, using the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes at 375°F. Let stand for 20 minutes before cutting in squares.
