Lauren's Lasagna

When I make lasagna it is usually pretty simple. You need the following ingredients:;

no boil lasagna noodles  (i use barilla)
red sauce (i usually use bertolli 4 cheese: 2 bottles typically)
parmesan cheese
mozzarella cheese (3-4 cups? totally depends on your taste)
sausage (i use a package of johnsonville mild or sweet basil)
sometimes I add frozen (drained) spinach to the sausage and cook it together
white sauce (see this post for my white sauce recipe: http://dinnergroupohio.blogspot.com/2011/11/pasta-al-forno.html) you can double this recipe if you like a really creamy lasagna

You can layer these ingredients however you want to. I usually do something like this:

thin layer of red sauce
layer of noodles: 4-6 noodles (depending on size of pan)
1/3 of sausage mixture
1/3 of red sauce
1/3 of white sauce
layer of noodles
1/3 of sausage mixture
1 cup of mox. cheese approx.
1/3 of red sauce
1/3 of white sauce
layer of noodles
1/3 of sausage mixture
1/3 of red sauce
1/3 of white sauce
layer of noodles
thin layer of red sauce (hopefully you have a little left)
1 cup of mozarella cheese approx.
parmesan cheese.

But just follow the directions on the back of the lasagna box if you need to. It is really hard to mess this part up.
Bake according to box instructions.
