Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain, toss with 2 tablespoons oil and set aside.
In a medium skillet, cook and crumble sausage in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until browned and fully cooked; about 7-10 minutes.
Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender; about 4 minutes.
Add marinara sauce to the sausage mixture; set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese and chopped spinach; set aside.
Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil; spread 1 cup of sausage mixture on the bottom.
Top with 3 lasagna noodles. Spread ¼ of the ricotta cheese mixture on noodles; layer 1 cup of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle ½ cup Italian cheese over mixture. Repeat this process three more times, starting with noodles and finish with remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese; sprinkle with oregano.
Bake until hot and bubbly; about 45 minutes.
Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
