This is a hearty dish that gets better the next day. It can easily be made without the sausage for a vegetarian dish, or with ground beef if you don't like sausage.

I often make the sauce to use over spaghetti for a fancy, hearty meal. It also freezes well so make a couple batches and divide to save prep time later.

I also use oven-ready, no-boil lasagna noodles to eliminate that step. Just be sure the noodles are completely covered by sause or they will be crunchy. [I posted this recipe.]
