Lasagna ( Elsie)

1 pound Italian sausage
4 cups ( approx) tomato sauce (  I use plain tomato sauce and add garlic and Italian spice to it)
Lasagna noodles, 8 0r 9 strips are usually enough)
3 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese
2 tbsp parsley flakes
2 beaten eggs
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced thin

Take sausage out of casing  and brown, spoon off excess fat.
Cook noodles in large amount of salted boiling water.
Combine remaining ingredients except mozzarella cheese.
Place half the noodles in 9x13 baking dish; spread with half the ricotta cheese filling, top with half the mozzarella cheese, half the tomato sauce and half the meat. Repeat layers.
Bake @ 375 about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes or so to set before cutting into squares.
May be assembled earlier and refrigerated; allow 15 minutes longer in oven.
