Notes
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until onion is translucent.
4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Simmer the sauce for about 20 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6
In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with the egg, Parmesan cheese, and parsley.
7
In a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce. Place a layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce.
8
Spread a portion of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of the meat sauce. Repeat with remaining layers.
9
Top the final layer with mozzarella cheese.
10
Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
