Ingredients:
1 lb bulk reduced-fat italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups progresso diced tomatoes, undrained (from 28-oz can)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
12 uncooked lasagna noodles (12 ounces)
1 (15 ounce) container reduced-fat ricotta cheese (2 cups) or 1 small curd cream-style cottage cheese (2 cups)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (8 ounces)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook sausage, onion and garlic in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain.

Sprinkle with 2/3 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat with 4 noodles, the remaining cheese mixture, 1 cup of the sauce mixture and 2/3 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Top with remaining noodles and sauce mixture. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.
