move over stouffer's!

I've been meaning to post this for awhile now. Jeremy and Kristin were supposed to come over for dinner a few weeks ago, but the weather did not cooperate (surprise, surprise!). Here is what we made:
This picture kind of looks gross, but trust me-it's delicious. Here's the recipe:

Two Sauce Lasagna
1 jar (26 ounce) tomato pasta sauce
1 jar (16 ounce) Alfredo pasta sauce
1 box lasagna noodles (12 noodles) cooked and drained
1 container (15 ounce) Ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs

Optional:
1 package (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 pound Italian sausage, browned and drained

Preheat the oven to 350. In large bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and eggs; mix well. In 13x9 baking dish, spread 1 cup tomato sauce. Layer 4 noodles over sauce. Top noodles with half of cheese mixture, spinach, remaining tomato sauce and sausage. Repeat layers and spread remaining mixture. Top with 4 remaining noodles. Spread Alfredo sauce evenly on top and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake for 15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 10-12 servings.

So I like spinach in small quantities, so I didn't put tons of it in. It was great! Next time I would decrease the sausage, also. I put the whole pound in, but I would probably only put in 1/2-3/4 of a pound. Those are just some suggestions, though.

Happy eating!

We love this recipe as well. Now I'm really disappointed we didn't make it.
