Ingredients

10 dry lasagna noodles
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot)
2 cloves garlic , minced
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella , divided
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
salt and pepper , to taste
3 cups homemade marinara sauce (or store-bought), divided
fresh chopped parsley , for garnish

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to boil; throw in a pinch of salt and add your lasagna noodles. Cook until al dente. (After draining, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil to prevent sticking and drape them over a colander or lay them on a baking sheet.)
While the pasta is cooking, warm oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and garlic, cook for about 3-4 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains. Drain off any accumulated grease and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, egg, Parmesan, mozzarella, milk, and Italian seasoning. Season with a little salt and pepper, to taste. Add the cooked sausage and 1/4 cup of marinara sauce; mix until just combined.
Coat the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with 1 cup of marinara sauce.
Spread a 1/3 cup of the sausage mixture onto the length of each lasagna noodle and roll up in a jelly-roll fashion.
Arrange rolls, seam side down, in the baking dish. Top with remaining 1 3/4 cups of marinara sauce.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Sprinkle with some fresh parsley and additional Parmesan, if desired.
