Ingredients
Sauce and Sausage:
-
9 thick slices bacon, diced
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
2 (28 ounce) cans tomato sauce
-
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon fennel seed
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
2 pounds Italian sausage links
Lasagna:
-
2 pints part-skim ricotta cheese
-
⅓ cup milk
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 (16 ounce) package uncooked lasagna noodles
-
8 slices provolone cheese
-
6 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
-
Make the sauce: Brown bacon and onion in a large pan over medium heat until bacon is crisp and onion is translucent, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, fennel seed, and oregano. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until thick, 4 to 6 hours.
-
Cook the sausage: When the sauce is almost ready, brown sausage links in a large skillet. Drain on paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.
-
Make the lasagna: Mix ricotta cheese, milk, eggs, parsley, and oregano together in a medium bowl.
-
Spread 1 cup sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan. Layer with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the sausage pieces, 2 cups mozzarella, 4 slices provolone, and 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat layers once more, then top with remaining noodles. Spread remaining sauce over noodles and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours.
