Number Of Ingredients 14

box oven ready (or no boil) lasagna noodles (we use barilla)
15 ounce(s) ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
16 ounce(s) shredded mozzarella
4 ounce(s) shredded parmesan
24 oz jar of classico tomato basil sauce
16 ounce(s) jar of alfredo sauce
2 pound(s) sweet italian sausage (or half and half mix of sweet italian and regular sausage)
10 ounce(s) frozen spinach
4 ounce(s) can of mushroom pieces
2 1/4 ounce(s) sliced black olives
1 tablespoon(s) anise seed finely chopped
2 tablespoon(s) chopped garlic
1 tablespoon(s) dried oregano

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350
Mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella, eggs, spinach (drained) and half the parmesan cheese in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a frying pan on medium heat, fry the sausage, oregano, garlic, mushrooms and Annice seed. Drain. Set aside.
In a lasagna pan, pour one cup of tomato basil sauce and spread around. Add 1/3 of the noodles laid flat and slightly overlapping in a row. Spread half the cheese mixture on top of that, 1/2 the olives and then add half the sausage mix. Repeat layers once again.
Top the two layers with the remaining noodles. Pour the alfredo sauce over the top and spread evenly. Put the remaining parmesan cheese on top, and then the rest of the olives.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil, and the bake an additional 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
