• 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
• 6 oz. or more of mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In large saucepan, cook sausage, onion and garlic until meat is browned. Drain. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook noodles until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water, then drain again. For filling, combine egg, ricotta or cottage cheese and parmesan cheese. Layer half of the filling over the noodles. Top with half of the meat sauce. Then half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees, just enough to get it good and hot.
