A SAUSAGE LASAGNA RECIPE TO TEMPT YOUR TASTEBUDS
Please your palate and your dinner guests with this classic lasagna recipe that you'll keep in your recipe box for years to come. The secret to this delectable lasagne dish is sautéed Italian sausage and onions layered with Barilla Marinara sauce, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. This lasagna recipe may be prepared up to 48 hours in advance without baking it. Prepare the lasagne as listed in the directions below and then store in a refrigerator. Since the lasagne will be cold, it will take longer to bake - 45 minutes covered, and an additional 15 minutes uncovered at 425° F. Bake until bubbly and enjoy!
