Italian Sausage Lasagna

Italian - World Cuisine

This recipe came from my mom, but of course I tweaked it, always putting my own spin on things. I sell this lasagna to my co-workers when they need a fast supper. I make it up, deliver it to them, and they bake it up for supper or put in the freezer.
