📝 Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium skillet, combine vegetarian Italian sausage, chopped onion, and minced garlic clove. Cook over medium heat, stirring often to break up sausage, until lightly browned; drain if necessary.

Step 3

Reserve ⅔ cup of the tomato sauce.

Step 4

Stir remaining tomato sauce, tomato paste, hot water, dried basil leaves, dried oregano leaves, and dried marjoram leaves into the sausage mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, and salt; mix well.

Step 6

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the reserved ⅔ cup tomato sauce.

Step 7

Layer ⅓ of the uncooked lasagna noodles, ⅓ of the ricotta mixture, ⅓ of the sausage tomato sauce, and ⅓ of shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded Muenster cheese.

Step 8

Repeat layers twice more to create 3 full layers.

Step 9

Bake uncovered at 350 °F for 40 to 50 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
