  12                    lasagna noodles -- broken into large
                        -- pieces
  1              pound  hot italian sausage -- casings removed
  1                jar  spaghetti sauce -- (26 ounces)
  1                cup  ricotta cheese
  2               cups  shredded mozzarella cheese -- (8 ounces)
     1/2           cup  grated parmesan cheese
     1/2      teaspoon  dried basil
     1/2      teaspoon  black pepper

Preparation:

Cook the noodles according to the package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a soup pot, cook the sausage over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until no pink remains, stirring to crumble the sausage; drain. Add the noodles and the remaining ingredients; mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Note: Sprinkle with a bit of chopped parsley before serving to give this an extra-fancy, extra-fresh look.
