Ingredients

1 jar (24 oz.) Classico® Florentine Spinach and Cheese Pasta Sauce
8 lasagna noodles
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
1 lb. sweet or hot Italian-style bulk sausage
15 oz. Ricotta cheese

Directions

Preheat oven 350°F. Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together Ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs and 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese, and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium high heat, brown sausage for 4 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through, stirring until small crumbles form.
Spread 1 cup of pasta sauce evenly over the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. Layer with 1/2 of cooked lasagna noodles, 1/2 of Ricotta cheese mixture, 1/2 of cooked sausage, 1/2 of remaining pasta sauce and 1/2 of remaining Mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers.
Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
