Sausage And Mushroom Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 (8 ounce) packages baby bella mixed mushrooms
    1 large onion, chopped
    2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
    1 lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
    3 garlic cloves, pressed
    1 cup dry red wine (have successfully substituted water)
    2 (26 ounce) jars marinara sauce (I use Newman's Own)
    2 (9 ounce) packages no-boil lasagna noodles (huge time saver)
    1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
    2 (8 ounce) bags Italian cheese blend
Preparation
    Heat oven to 400 degrees.
    Heat oil in large pot. Add mushrooms, onion, and seasoning blend; saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes.
    Add sausage and saute until brown and cook through, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes.
    Add garlic and stir for 1 minute.
    Add wine; cook until almost all liquid evaporates, scraping up brown bits, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
    Spread 2/3 cup marinara over bottom of a 13x9x2 baking dish. Spread a layer of noodles over sauce. Spread 1 cup of sauce over noodles.
    Top with 1/3 cup ricotta, then 1 cup grated Italian cheese.
    Spoon 1/3 of sausage mixture over cheese layer.
    Repeat two more times. Sauce, noodles, ricotta, cheese, sausage.
    Cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes; remove foil and bake until top browns (broiler works well too). Let stand for 15 minutes.Freezes well.
