This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer, whole or in individual portions. Try using ground turkey and adding a layer of grilled vegetables or spinach. Serve with french bread and garnish with Italian parsley or sautéed mushrooms.

Brown the meat in a skillet.

Drain excess liquid from skillet and add wild mushroom sauce.

Cook for 5 minutes. (Skip this step if you are using roasted vegetables.)

Combine mozzarella, ricotta, half the Parmesan cheese and the egg in a large bowl.

In a well-greased 13"x9" baking dish, spread a thin layer of the sauce/meat mixture.

Layer with half of the noodles, followed by half of the cheese mixture and half of the remaining sauce.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients, and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
