OUTSTANDING LASAGNA WITHOUT PRE-BOILING REGULAR NOODLES
This tastes fabulous! Uses a mix of turkey sausage & ground beef, and plain old regular style lasagna noodles that you do not have to pre-boil. Just follow the directions as it will take more liquid and cooking time. Choose your favorite sauce, and throw in green peppers while cooking the meat if you like them. Yes the cooking time is longer, but wouldn't you rather let it cook by itself while you do something else, rather than have to boil those noodles, then try to dry them, etc? Yeah, me too! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Important: do NOT pre-boil the noodles! Brown chopped onion, sausage and ground beef in small amount of olive oil. When almost browned, add minced garlic so it won't burn. Drain, put in large bowl, mix in with spaghetti sauce, salt & red pepper flakes. Set aside. Get another large bowl; mix in ricotta cheese, egg, ½ C each mozerella, parmesean and romano cheeses, parsley, basil. In 13x9 pan, put 1C of the red sauce in the bottom. Add approximately 3 ½ of the noodles, arrange 3 lengthwise, leaving space between them to allow them to absorb liquid and expand, and add a piece at the end of the pan since they are not long enough to cover the entire length. Take approximately ½ of the white cheese mix, drop by spoonfuls over the noodles and spread around a little. (doesn't need to cover everything or be perfect!) Then add 1C mozzarella cheese. Repeat this entire layer, using approximately ½ of the remaining red sauce, same amount of noodles and white mix, and another Cup of the mozzarella. Add the remaining red sauce, then 1C of parmesean cheese to top it off. Take the sauce can, fill it halfway with water, then slowly pour over the dish all over, so the liquid will rise up to about half full in the pan. This will all get absorbed by the noodles, because you didn't pre-boil them. Tightly cover with foil. Bake at 325 F for 2 hours. Then uncover, raise the temp to 350 F and bake another 15-30 minutes until the cheese is golden on top and the edges are pulling away from the pan. Remove from the oven, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes or until all the liquid has set up and the dish is firm.

Tips:
- When choosing your pasta sheets, opt for high-quality, no-boil lasagna sheets specifically designed for this type of lasagna. These sheets are typically thinner and more delicate, allowing them to cook evenly without boiling.
- To ensure your lasagna is cooked through, preheat your oven to the desired temperature and bake the lasagna for the recommended time. Use a toothpick or fork to check the center of the lasagna; it should come out clean when inserted.
- For a flavorful and succulent lasagna, use a combination of ground beef, Italian sausage, and vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, and zucchini. Season the meat and vegetables generously with herbs and spices, such as garlic, oregano, and basil.
- Don't skimp on the sauce! Use a rich and flavorful tomato sauce or a creamy béchamel sauce, or a combination of both. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta sheets and provide moisture to the lasagna.
- To prevent the lasagna from drying out, cover it with aluminum foil during the first half of the baking time. This will create a moist environment and help the lasagna cook evenly.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set properly.
